Subject:      Odd Date Time Field Input

I am working with a very large comma delimited file (over 7G) with one
field toward the end of the record that is a non-standard date time field
that has a blank in the middle of it but not surrounded by double quotes.
Other character values are surrounded by double quotes.  Reading with DSD
does not allow a correct read of this field either as character or
numeric.  I'm also having trouble trying just using delimiter=','.  Has
anyone encountered something similar?  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

PS.

The date is in the format 10-10-2003 00:00:00.  I'm using 8.2 on AIX UNIX.
