help me in this regard .Please reply ASAP i need .

You will need to give us a more complete sample of your code, because I don't see a problem:

> strptime("01apr1985:00:00:00.000","%d%b%Y")
[1] "1985-04-01"

also works when hours, minutes and seconds format was used:

> strptime("01apr1985:00:00:00.000","%d%b%Y:%H:%M:%S")
[1] "1985-04-01"
> strptime("01apr1985:00:00:00.000","%d%b%Y:%T")
[1] "1985-04-01"
