Try the following:

Date(Case When C = 0 then '19' else '20' End concat Digits(YY) concat
Digits(MM) concat Digits(DD) concat '000000')

Betreff: Convert YYMMDD to Date in SQL

A vendor provides the date in four fields C (1 or 0), YY (2 digits), MM, DD.
I want to take them and convert it to a DATE field in SQL. Apparently YYMMDD
is not a good Google search term and I can't find decent sample of this. I
know how to join the fields into a single field to YYMMDD or MMDDYY but it's
the process of converting that to a DATE field that I am having problems
with. Any ideas?

I just may add 20 to the YY and let some poor fool fix it in 90 years. The
file only contains data for the current year so no worrying about 1900s.
