define variable inputString as character no-undo. 
define variable monthList as character no-undo. 

monthList = "January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December". 

update inputString format "x(30)". 

display datetime(date(
    lookup( entry(1, inputString, " "), monthList), 
    integer(entry(2, inputString, " ")), 
    integer(entry(3, inputString, " ")) 
)).
