Is the century always 20 or could it also be 19?
Could the day be single digit the way your month is? For instance, could you have a 4418 as in April 4 2018 or will that look like 40418?

Whats the format of the date ? is it a string or numeric ?

Is this to be done in a DEFINE or COMPUTE or Dialog Manager ?

Here is a simple example. To cater for other formats of the date, you will need much more logic.

SET DEFCENT = 20

TABLE FILE CAR
 PRINT COMPUTE NON_DATE/A5 = '41618' ;
 COMPUTE TMP_DATE/A6MDY = '0' | NON_DATE ;
 COMPUTE FOC_DATE/MDYY = TMP_DATE ;
 BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
 WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END
