Well that makes sense. I changed it to
DATE(SUBSTR(CHAR(SHIP_DATE),7,2) CONCAT '/' CONCAT
SUBSTR(CHAR(SHIP_DATE),9,2) CONCAT '/' CONCAT
SUBSTR(CHAR(SHIP_DATE),5,2)) AS DATE_SHIPPED
And I got some output.
Thanks

Another file I am working with has a date field that is defined as variable

DATE(SUBSTR(DIGITS(SHIP_DATE),7,2) CONCAT '/' CONCAT

DIGITS built-in function converts number to character. But you are feeding
it a character column.
