Subject: how to get decimal to date form

In our postgre database is a decimal field with format YYMMDDhhmmss.9999999999
where the 9s are random digits. I'm trying to strip off just the
YYMMDD and put it in date form.
So far I came up with:
SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(rec_num,99999999999),1,6) AS Date which returns YMMDD.
For example where the rec_num is 30608124143.47069519725 the above
functions return 30608.
I tried wrapping another TO_CHAR around it to try to format it to a
date but this seems like it's a bit much for this purpose.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
