If mydate80 is 8,0 then you can just do this:

select cast(timestamp_format(digits(mydate80),'YYYYMMDD') as date) mydate from myfile;

Subject: DB2 numeric to date conversion

Hello,

I came up with this in order to convert a 8,0 numeric field to a date that seems to work. Format is YYYYMMDD so it would be a bit different for most of you.
Can anyone suggest something to make it easier on the eye? Thanks!

select

date('0001-01-01') +
(int(myDate/10000) - 1) years +
(int(mod(myDate , 10000)/100) - 1) months + (mod(mod(myDate , 10000), 100) - 1) days from myFile
