dateTimeAs= "isodatetime" reads and converts the dates into a character
representation. You could also read the dates as numeric values and convert
them later to strings with the functions "dateTimeToStr" or
"dateTimeToIsoStr".
However in the earlier column (say col=1) I have data

another possibility would be to give a vector for the colClasses argument,
e.g.
colClasses = c( "character", "character", "double", "double",
"isodatetime" )
