Here is an example awk script which should help you achieve what you want to do

Code:
BEGIN {
    months = "Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec"
    split(months, month, ",")
    FS = ";"
}

$2 != "" {
    y = substr($2,1,4)
    m = substr($2,5,2)
    m+= 0
    d = substr($2,7,2)
    d+= 0
    printf "%s %d, %s\n", month[m], d, y
}
