DT_PRINT Procedure

Standard Library procedure that prints the value in date/time variables in a readable format.

DT_PRINT, dt_var

dt_var A date/time variable containing one or more date/time structures.

None.

The system variables !Date_Separator and !Time_Separator determine which characters are used to separate the date and time elements in the output. The default delimiter for dates is a slash (/), and the default delimiter for printing times is a colon (:). For example:

4/2/1992 7:7:51

You can change these separators by changing the values of !Date_Separator and !Time_Separator.

x = TODAY()
DT_PRINT, x

05/06/1992 14:34:54

PRINT, x

{ 1992 5 6 14 34 54.0000 87528.608 0}

dtarray = DTGEN(x,4)
DT_PRINT, dtarray

4/2/1992 7:7:51.000
4/3/1992 7:7:51.000
4/4/1992 7:7:51.000
