CDF_ENCODE_EPOCH16
==================

The CDF_ENCODE_EPOCH16 function encodes a CDF_EPOCH16 value into the standard 
date and time character string.

Examples

test_string = '04-Dec-2005 20:19:18.176.214.648.000'

test_epoch = CDF_PARSE_EPOCH16(test_string)

PRINT, CDF_ENCODE_EPOCH16(test_epoch)

IDL Output

04-Dec-2005 20:19:18.176.214.648.000

Syntax

Result = CDF_ENCODE_EPOCH16(Epoch16 [, EPOCH={0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4}] )

Note: Epoch16 field can be a single DCOMPLEX or an array of DCOMPLEX values.
      Based on the input, the output can be a single string or an array of 
      string.

Return Value

Returns the string representation of the given CDF_EPOCH16 value.

Arguments

Epoch16

The double-precision CDF_EPOCH16 value to be encoded.

Note: The CDF_EPOCH16 value can be obtained by calling CDF_EPOCH16 with the 
COMPUTE keyword, or by calling CDF_PARSE_EPOCH16.

Keywords

EPOCH

Set this keyword equal to one of the following integer values, specifying the 
epoch mode to use for output of the epoch date string:
