I have a semi colon delimited file containing a date field in this format

blah;Wed May 05 19:29:53 2004;blah;bla

My DTS import always fails when I use the following setting
Sourc
ddd MMMM dd hh:mm:ss yyy
Destinatio
yyyy-MM-d

the error is: Can not parse data input at 19:29:53 200
I've tried other destination settings with no luck
I would like to get this date reformated so I can do date addition subtraction etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would be inclined to use an Active Script task and write the conversion
myself.

I am guessing that you'll need to change "ddd MMMM dd hh:mm:ss yyyy" to "ddd
MMMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy"...

'May' is both a short (MMM) and long (MMMM) month name. Check other dates
with longer month names to see which you should be using e.g. Oct (MMM) or
October (MMMM)
