Mapping issue in Date Format

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a mapping problem in my object.
I have two filelds coming from the Control record of an IDoc CREDAT and CRETIM. Now, I need to concate them and put them in a target field DateandTimeCreated in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
Is their an UDF or message mapping for this. Messge mapping will be better for me.DateTrans will work over here??
Please reply.
Thanks and regards,

Sample UDF code:
Execution Type:  Single Values
Date UDF
a)if your input date field declared as string then,
public String dateValue(String value,  Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
String input =value;
String strDate ="";
if (input !=null)
Date date1 = new java.util.Date(Long.parseLong(input));
SimpleDateFormat  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
strDate = formatter.format(date1);
return strDate;
Time UDF
a) if your input time field declared as string then,
public String timeValue(String value,  Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
String input = value;
String strTime="";
if (input !=null)
Date date = new java.util.Date(Long.parseLong(input));
SimpleDateFormat  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmss");
strDate = formatter.format(date);
return strTime;
Note: include import statement
import java.text.*
