You could look at the TimeStamp program from the Coyote
Library and see how a variety of time stamps were created
from time values. Since this is not one of the 12 formats
offered by the program, you could even figure out how
to do this and add the format as the 13th possible value,
thereby gaining fame and fortune as an IDL programmer!

It might take you five minutes to do. Probably less
time if you realize that format 12 is nearly what you
want to do. :-)
Cheers,
David
