I assume what you posit, that the original is character.
Here's an SQL solution, as you requested:
select dec(date(timestamp_format('01/02/96', 'mm/dd/RR'))) from
sysibm/sysdummy1;
This is dependent on the OS version - needs to be 7.3, I believe - the
RR in the format string compensates for which half century the "year"
value is in.
You can use "yy" instead, but that uses the 1st 2 digits of the current
year. You'd have to subtract 1000000 from the result, maybe.
