05 DD PIC 99.
05 MM PIC 99.

01 W-DATE PIC X(6).
05 DD PIC 99.
05 MM PIC 99.
05 YY PIC 99.
is incorrect.
01 W-DATE.
05 DD PIC 99.
05 MM PIC 99.
05 YY PIC 99.
Is correct, and W-DATE has an implied picture clause of
PIC X(6). Group items are always character in usage. To
use a group item that requires another picture clause, you
must do a redefines, ie.
01 W-DATE-NUM PIC 9(6).
01 W-DATE PIC X(6) REDEFINES W-DATE-NUM.
05 DD PIC 99.
05 MM PIC 99.
05 YY PIC 99.

In previous answer,
01 W-DATE-NUM PIC 9(6).
01 W-DATE REDEFINES W-DATE-NUM.
05 DD PIC 99.
05 MM PIC 99.
05 YY PIC 99.
should be the code block at the bottom, sloppy cut and
paste, sorry.
