MySQL importing a CSV converting the date format

I'm importing data from a csv to a MySQL table. I need to convert the date format from String to Date. From Starting format to finale format:

Mon Feb 04 00:00:00 UTC 2011  ---> 2011-02-04 00:00:00

I've done it sucessfully:

select str_to_date('Mon Feb 04 00:00:00 UTC 2011', '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y');

Now I'm writing the script to do all the import from the csv, there are 2 columns with the date to be converted, but I'm stuck with a MySQL syntax exception on the set part.

My SQL script:

load data local infile 'movimento.csv' into table movimento
fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n'
(id, anno, creditore, @data_pag, @data_spost, descrizione)
set data_pagamento = str_to_date(@data_pag, '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y')
set data_spostamento = str_to_date(@data_spost, '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y')
show warnings;

I'm stuck with a syntax exception on the set part. The error:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'set data_spostamento = str_to_date(@data_spost, '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y') show' at line 5 >

What's the right syntax?

The syntax is incorrect. Try this one -

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'movimento.csv' INTO TABLE movimento
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(ID, anno, creditore, @data_pag, @data_spost, descrizione)
SET
  data_pagamento = STR_TO_DATE(@data_pag, '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y'),
  data_spostamento = STR_TO_DATE(@data_spost, '%a %b %d %k:%i:%s UTC %Y')
