Reading in date & time from csv file [message #88616]

I want to read a csv file where the first column is date and time in the format YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS (e.g. 2014_05_12_18_39_33.194). I proceed as follows:

data = READ_CSV(file, N_TABLE_HEADER=30)

time=string(data.field01[*], format='(I4, "_", I2, "_", I2, "_", I2, "_", I2, "_", I2.5)')

When I print the variable time the result I get is:
2014_**_**_**_**_**

Can anybody help with what needs to be changed here to read this correctly or suggest an alternate method.
