Provided below is the syntax. I've also made a few notes about the error I am getting. I have tried several times to fix this, but for some reason EpiData is telling me it is illegal.

1:
i. No date will satisfy the commands.
ii. When you do put a date it, it reads : "Illegal entry- Legal values are 01/01/1900-12/31/2008, -77, 99, 88"
iii. I've tried to change the field type to date and have had difficulty making these changes.

Thank you for your time!!

You cannot have illegal dates: 99, -77, 88 are not dates and if they were, they are not legal, there is no date that contains, e.g. "99". A command for a legal date range and legal date values should look something like this (using European date format here):
legdat RANGE 01/01/1900 31/12/2008 LEGAL 30/12/2009 24/11/2008 END END
