No easy way, you'll have to parse out the date and time components using substring & position, cast them to the correct format, concatenate them together and cast the result as timestamp(0). Here's a code snippet that merges separate date and time columns into a timestamp. Parsing the source string is left as an exercise for the student ;-). IMHO, you're better off fixing the format in the source system.

 cast(cast(cast(logdate as  format 'YYYY-MM-DD') as char(11)) || cast
(logtime as  format '99:99:99') as timestamp(0))
