It can't be the same as in your script, 'ddate' is a string that 
receives the result of evaluating an expression that returns a date.

Hence this date is converted to a string automatically with CDate() to 
be put inside the 'ddate' variable, and so you get the UTC 
representation of the date as returned by CDate().
