add digits to the front

Hi all,
I have a number like so 778625 and want to make this a more meaningful
date (UK) so how difficult is it to add two digits in this case 19 to
the front of this number?

Many thanks
Sam

SELECT CAST(CAST(19 AS VARCHAR) + CAST(778625 AS VARCHAR) AS INT)

Another option is to do:

SELECT 19 * POWER(10, LEN(778625)) + 778625

select convert(int,'19'+convert(varchar(10),fld))
