Jeff,

That's a piece of cake.  You just need a user tag.  Look in your 
Interchange directory under /usr/lib/interchange/code and you'll find a 
bunch of examples.  The ones that will be closest to what you'll want is 
in /usr/lib/interchange/code/SystemTag.

Once you write the user tag, copy it to 
/usr/lib/interchange/code/UserTag, add it to the requires line in the 
catalog.cfg and restart Interchange.  There's more in the documentation 
on UserTags.

If you want an easier route, here's some date examples I have:

- Reformat date

[convert-date fmt="%b %e, %Y %l:%M %P"][loop-data transactions 
order_date][/convert-date]


- Perl Time:

[perl ]
      return $Tag->time({sortable =>'true'});
[/perl]
[perl]
      return $Tag->time('',{ format => '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'});
[/perl]


- Tag Time:

[tag time]%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S[/tag]


- Date Calculations (Date two months ago today):

[seti start_date][query sql="SELECT  DATE_FORMAT( DATE_SUB( NOW(  ) ,  
INTERVAL 2 MONTH  ) ,  '%Y%m%d'  ) as date " list=1][sql-param 
date][/query][/seti]
