Hello Folks,

I have a csv file which has timestamp divided among various fields.
(Initial 4 columns are shown)
year,quarter,month,day.....
2000,2,3,15
2009,4,10,23

etc..

now if i specify time format as %Y, %m, %d then it considers quarter as month and month as day.
I want to by-pass quarter and get values of year, month and day.

Can any one tell me how can I achieve this ??

If you have some doubt with question then do let me know.

You'd have to specify a custom datetime.xml for parsing this.

Can you provide a complete sample?

Year is 4 digits long. example 1999
quarter is 1 digit long. example 3
month is max 2 digits long example 12 or 4
dayofmonth is max 2 digits long example 5 or 23
CRSdeptTime is 4 digits long example 0930 [09 hours 30 min]
