convert yyyymmdd to time values

Dear NCL members,

What should I do if I want to convert my yyyymmdd date format from a *txt
output to time values? for instance,

time = (/20010101, 20010105, 20060302, 20080101, 20090621/)
time@units = "days since 1800-01-01 00:00:00"

So that I will have:

time = (/17522904, 17522928, 17522952, 17522976, 17523000/)
time@units = "days since 1800-01-01 00:00:00"

the reason is because I need to use the *cd_calendar *function for my purpose.

thank you

Chang
