Date Format was created by bruce.gibbins
Can someone please help with this?

I have a standard CSV file with a column that contains a DATE formatted as YYYYMMDD

I have a transformation with a READER to the CSV file and a TRANSFORMER which is basically a 1:1 mapping of fields to a SQL Server table

The DATE column has been defined as 'date' and I have a REFORMAT action to use a format of YYYYMMDD

But during transformation I get the following error for each row. It is like the REFORMAT Action is not being called
Code:
Record rejected Can't apply format YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.FFF for field Date(DATE) value 20101014

In order to load data into "DATE" field, it must be converted into YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.FFF format.

Although it can be done using Reformat Date Function the prefered way of doing it is to use "Date Format" transformation function.

Same apply to time fields
