Formatting a DATE differently using SQL

Before I forget, this is for a v6.1.0 system.

I know that I've seen this addressed numerous times before but my friend Google just cannot seem to locate it based on the input that I've given.

Using SQL, I want to display a value formatted as MM/DD/YY (with the slash separators) from a date data type column as succinctly as possible. (This will be the MIN date in the file based on other criteria in the WHERE clause, but that's superfluous).

The best I can come up with is:

SUBSTR(CHAR(MIN(dayid)),6,2) CONCAT '/' CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(MIN(dayid)),9,2) CONCAT '/' CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(MIN(dayid)),3,2) AS StartDate

Ugly, but it works. There has to be an easier way. I hope someone has a better idea.

Thanks in advance,
Robert
