How do I convert a numeric "string" into a date?

Created: Mar 6, 2018 05:25 AM  |  Last Modified: Mar 30, 2018 02:18 PM (14845 views)

I´m a new user and I´m trying to convert a nummeric string into a jmp date format. 

I tried creating a new column by concatenating a character string so that could at least get my desired "ddmmyyy" output:

(Substr( :START_DATE, 7, 2 ) || Substr( :START_DATE, 5, 2 )) ||Substr( :START_DATE, 1, 4 ) but that didnt get´me any further.

Any ideas on this?

Actually, when I run it on the test file I get missing data in all of the rows. I use JMP 12 - can that be the reason?
