RudiC:

Thanks for suggestion, I tried. It output the same result. I know the Date format in our SQL script is not configured well. But I cannot make change at this time. It will cause many changes. On our Solaris 10, we have /usr/xpg4/bib/sed, can this sed work?
These two use vgersh99's proposal and without {2}
Code:
/home/oracle> sed -e "s/[0-3][0-9]-($(locale abmon | tr 'a-z;' 'A-Z|'))-[12][09][0-9][0-9]/$NEWDATE/" test4.txt
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'

/home/oracle> sed  "s/[0-3][0-9]\-[a-zA-Z]{3}\-[12][09][0-9][0-9]/$NEWDATE/" test4.txt
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'
       ep.begin_date, ep.end_date, ep.facility_code,
AND    ep.begin_date <= '01-JUL-2019'

I am working on how to restrict to match the month. Thanks for your help.

NAME
rubibtex - make a bibliography for (La)TeX using Russian letters as item names SYNOPSIS
rubibtex BASENAME DESCRIPTION
rubibtex is used to run bibtex(1) on auxiliary files with Russian characters in item names (citation keys). It is part of the T2 package. rubibtex copies the auxiliary file to /tmp, uses sed(1) to convert Cyrillic character commands to their 8-bit ASCII equivalents; runs bib- tex(1) on the modified file; and finally moves the original auxiliary file back (overwriting the modified file). rubibtex assumes that the bibtex(1) database (bib) files are encoded with the KOI8-R encoding.

basename.aux LaTeX auxiliary file BUGS
