MATLAB: Problem with datenum usage

datenumMATLABtime seriestime stamp

Hi
I am trying to use the datenum function of matlab to convert into dates I read through the manual in matlab andhave used
Time = datenum(num2str(time),'yyyymmdd');
which works but when i change it to also register the Hours and Minutes in failed
time = A(:,1);
Time = datenum(num2str(time),'yyyymmddHHMN');
S.Time=Time
DATENUM failed.
Error in SWAN2buoy (line 29)
Time = datenum(num2str(time),'yyyymmddHHMN');
Caused by:
    Error using cnv2icudf (line 131)
  Unrecognized minute format.  Format string: yyyymmddHHMN.`
have to say that I am using datenum to read timeseries from a file i have, and i would like to have it it a full timeseries form The original uploaded date format is
2.010010100300000e+07
thank you

Its a typo:
'yyyymmddHHMN'
MN should be MM
