Date Note Being Recognized

[nlaughton]

Hello, 

i have a script that is working well, except that the Order_Date is not being recognized or formatted correctly, any idea what i am missing ? 

What my script does is loop through some order data to expand out the data for every day an order is active and list associated data related to that original order .

here is the original data

AREA	DAYPOWER	FLAG	CUSTOMER	ORDER_DATE	DAYS_SUPPLY	ORDER_IEN	ORDER_NUMBER	ORDER_TYPE	SERVICE_UNIT
North	45	I	88	1/28/2018	30	653055	46641	F	EAST
North	41	I	88	1/28/2018	30	65447	5536565	F	EAST
North	28	I	542	1/12/2018	4	8774448	551122	F	EAST
North	42	I	887	3/10/2018	4	7466465	553331	F	EAST
North	30	I	259	1/23/2018	15	666211	523111	F	EAST
North	23	I	259	4/5/2018	10	644412	777417	F	EAST
North	15	I	334	2/7/2018	28	12123	5546555	F	EAST
South	90	I	334	2/17/2018	7	12223	5544669	F	EAST
South	15	I	334	3/16/2018	28	13144	5511223	F	EAST
South	17	I	667	1/17/2018	3	611223	551113	F	EAST
South	20	I	667	1/25/2018	10	62233	5513111	F	EAST
South	20	I	667	3/20/2018	10	65112	65656	F	EAST

here is some of what i'm getting.....

forgot, here is the sample file.

Have a look at the following Design Blog post, that should give you some options to try in the script to get things properly formatted:

The issue should be related to how the backend source is formatting things, just FYI...
