Date formatting

I need to display a date in a specific format.  I cant seem to understand the webwiz built-in "dateformat" function.  Is there a simple way for me to call dateformat (or someother built in function!) and get back a string date value formatted as yyyymmdd with no slashes or spaces or anything, just the numbers?

If not, I will have to write something to take the date string dtmEventDate and parse it into yyyy and mm and dd and write it back out the way I need it.  Im lazy, and was wondering if you already had this built into your dateformat function.

Thanks!

I know, but that changes it everywhere.  I need to change it for a specific purpose (another system API), not everywhere on the forum, and it cant have the slashes in it.
