If you use
PRINT, STRING(time_text,FORMAT='(C(CDI2.2,"/",CMOI2.2,"/",CYI,"
",CHI2.2,":",CMI2.2,":",CSI2.2))')
to print time_text
you'll get
16/03/2011 10:29:59
with the number of milliseconds missing. But you are close to
the next minute.
As usual with quantized values, the last digit may be wrong.
