Couple of methods,
1. Use Position instead of delimited control file specification and use SQL to massage to the ata For eaxmple
my_date position(1:19)
"substr(:mydate,1,10)||substr(:mydate,11)

Of course you can do this directly as
METHOD 2:

my_date position(1:10) filler,
my_time   position(11:19) filler,
my_final_date  position(1:1) ":my_date" || ":my_time"
