You can use below format:
StringToDate(DATE_COL,"%dd-%mmm-%1980yy")

where 1980 is cut-off year. hence it will convert 03-MAY-99 to 1999-05-03 and 05-NOV-05 to 2005-11-05.

Hope this helps.

The 1980 part is unneeded with a 4 digit year as is "mmm" with a 2 digit month. Are both of your examples strings? Or is one an actual Date? That changes the answer, but the StringToDate() and DateToString() functions are what you need to become familiar with.

aah....I answered it for DD-MON-YY format...

for this format, simple thing is to use:

StringToDate(DATE_COL,"%dd/%mm/%yyyy")
