Translate Dutch date to SAS date

[WtotheW]

Hello wizzards!

I am stuck trying to translate a Dutch date format to a SAS formatted date. Is it possible to translate data formatted like in the table to the DDMMYYD10. format? Preferable in the query builder but SAS script is also helpful.

Help is appreciated! 

Thanks in advance.
