In the SimpleDateFormat only 3 didgits can be used for the millisecond field.
The pattern I have is required for DB2 ISO Timestamp
format.  It requires  6 digits milliseconds.  For now, I am forced 
to concatenate 3 zero and a single quote at the end before I can pass it 
to DB2, which I don't think is a correct way to do... 

NOTE:  the ISOPattern consist two single quote at the beginning and the end
of the pattern.  
          **** Not double quote. ***** 


Here is the code to reproduce the bug: 

import java.text.*;       
import java.util.*; 

class MillisecondTest
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{ 
		new MillisecondTest();
	}

	MillisecondTest()
	{
		Date aGMTDate = new Date();       
		String ISOPattern = "''yyyy-MM-dd-hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS''";       
		SimpleDateFormat aSimpleDF = ( SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();       
		aSimpleDF.applyPattern( ISOPattern );       
		System.out.println( "a Pattern = " + aSimpleDF.toPattern() );       
		System.out.println( "a format = " + aSimpleDF.format( aGMTDate )  );  
	}
}

Here is the Output: 
 
a Pattern = ''yyyy-MM-dd-hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS''       
a format = '1998-05-20-10.09.31.043' 

The expected output should be:       

a format = '1998-05-20-10.09.31.043000' 
Three digits from millisecond (S) field is missing.
