I think you are looking for 'EXPORT REPORT' rather than 'EXPORT DATA'.

DATA is intended to export in 'internal' format such as 4 binary bytes for an Integer. Since it exported the dates as YYYY-MM-DD you presumably had your session date format set to ANSI. If it was set to INTEGER the dates would have been exported as a 4 byte binary.

REPORT is intended for 'readable' data. The FORMAT clauses will also be honored so your date will be in the format specified.

BTEQ never uses ODBC.
