The dates needs to be in Mathematica Date Format as a List.

In[1]:= AbsoluteTime[{2010,05,20}]
Out[1]= 3483302400

Mathematica does not have a built in conversion of this string to a datetime 
format "20100520"
In[2]:= DateString["20100520"]
Out[2]= 20100520

They should include it as it is a variation of ISO8601 without separators.

This format is commonly used in many EDI formats. So there is a need.
