Can you remove the comma between date and time to make it 1 field?

    I am trying to load a file that has the fields comma-delimited,
variable length.  A sample line from the file looks like this:

503,414081660,Success,Auth,AH9042,z,4555,-,-,-,0,05/01/01,14:21

The problem I am having is putting the date and time together.  The
control file looks like this:

load data
infile 'cyber_real.dat'
append
into table rit_cyber_hist
when order_id <> 'Order ID' and order_id <> ''
fields terminated by ','
(order_id,
 trans_nbr,
 cyber_status,
 trans_type,
 auth_code,
 avs_code,
 trans_amt,
 cic_resp,
 po_nbr,
 ship_to_zip,
 tax_amt,
 trans_date date(14) "mm/dd/yy,hh:mi")

It ignores the time portion of the file, I presume because it has a
comma before it and it assumes that it is a different field.  I can't
figure out any way to get this loaded with the trans_date field
containing both the date and time.

    This is on Oracle 8.1.6.0 on Sun Solaris.

Any suggestions?  Thank you.
