If you have IDL 8.5 or later, the new "implied print" syntax helps you get around the default formatting of the standard PRINT behavior.

First option, simply type the variable name at the prompt.

IDL> mytimes
2456953.0837037046 2456953.0838657417

This is the same as using PRINT with the /IMPLIED keyword.

IDL> print, mytimes, /implied
2456953.0837037046 2456953.0838657417

The keyword can be unambiguously abbreviated to "/i":

IDL> print, mytimes, /i
2456953.0837037046 2456953.0838657417

There's less typing involved than with an explicit FORMAT string. (But also see the new C-style formatting in IDL 8.6.)
