That's exactly what it should do. 'US' is a synonym for 'MDY',
and in any case it determines only one of the two components

(The fact that there are two components is a historical aberration,
and I'd be the first to agree it's ugly, but that's how it works.)

You need to read the manual a bit more closely, perhaps; or at
least explain what your *actual* problem is.
