How about this:

IDL> Print, String(t1+t2, Format='(F12.5)')

Cheers,

>> Try this:

>> IDL> print, t1+t2, format='(F12.5)'
>> 38005.22919

It works, but I have the next problem:

IDL> print, STRING(t1+t2)
IDL> 38005.229

I like to have 38005.22919.

Try this:

IDL> t1=38005.0D
IDL> t2=0.22919D
IDL> print, t1+t2, format='(F12.5)'
38005.22919
