break up your date into the individual components and then use DateTime...check help for the parameters

you're passing a string, but it is not distinct as to what is the month day and year.
 
separate your string into a year, month, day, hour, minute, second and then combine them using DateTime...then you will have variable that is the date that you think it is.

Use the following formula;
 
numbervar y := 2000 + tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},11,2));
numbervar m := tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},8,2));
numbervar d := tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},5,2));
numbervar h := tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},14,2));
numbervar n := tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},17,2));
numbervar s := tonumber(mid({OCMQM1.COMMENTS},20,2));
datetime(y,m,d,h,n,s)
 
Regards,
Ryan.
 
EDIT: Assumes all your dates will be post 01/01/2000...
