I'm trying to get month/year from column X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT, i tried this

Concat(month(rr.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT),
year(rr.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT))

But i'm getting an error concat is not a recognized function name

is there a better way to get month/year from that column?

select stuff(convert(char(5), rr.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT, 103), 3, 1, '')

Don't think there is such a function as Concat in T-SQL. Maybe you want

cast(month(rr.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT) as varchar(2))+ cast(year(rr.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT) as varchar(4))
