Just something to consider, if he goes ahead with this request:
How would you distinguish between the 11 of February 1999 ( 1121999 ) and
the 1st of December 1999 ( 1121999 )?
If he is prepared to enter both digits of the month (at least) then this
could result ion a non-ambigous date - my examples above would be 11 of
February 1999 ( 11021999 ) and the 1st of December 1999 ( 1121999 - the
'leading' zero on the 1st has been dropped )

Mohammad,
This really depends on the front end tool you are using.
Is it Oracle Forms? You can probably use a trigger in the
form to allow your client to do this. I haven't programmed
Forms in awhile, and can't give detailed directions.
This kind of ridiculous request is exactly the reason I
don't work on user interfaces anymore.
