E102,0,21-04-2007,0,2/25/1994,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E103,0,21/04/2007,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E104,0,04/21/2007,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E105,0,21-APR-2007,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E106,0,21-APR-07,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E107,0,21-04-07,0,2/25/1994,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E108,0,21/04/07,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620
E109,0,04/21/07,0,2/2/1996,E003,A,125400,10450,60.2884620

I want to convert any type of date format into 'YYYYMMDD' in Unix.

If anyone knows the coding pls help me in this.

Quick response would be helpful.

Thanks,
Charan
