Wouldn't it be this?

    date="200$year"

Or does foxpro somehow know to zero pad a 1 digit number?

It's been a very long time since I've worked with dBASE/FoxPro, but from what I remember it stores data in a fixed-width format. So for a column to store an integer, it will zero pad the front of it to fit the width of the column.
