If you read as date and load as date, there is no external conversino required. If you read as Char or varchar, you can use TO_DATE() in userdefined query, or Oconv/Iconv in datastage.

Is it only from single machnie or from all the clinet pc?
Is it only to single project or to all the 5 projects?
If it is only to single project, you may need to check the integrity of you project files or you may even need to FIX some files.
If its only with one PC, reinstall the client software.
