Re: double to string

Thanks Scott, the following appears to work:

begin
  dtime = 2002030106d
  stime = sprintf("%10f",dtime)
  ctime = stringtochar(stime)
  iyear = stringtointeger(chartostring(ctime(0:3)))
  imonth = stringtointeger(chartostring(ctime(4:5)))
  iday = stringtointeger(chartostring(ctime(6:7)))
  ihour = stringtointeger(chartostring(ctime(8:9)))
  print("iyear="+iyear+" imonth="+imonth+" iday="+iday+" ihour="+ihour)
end

So I'm all set, thanks for the suggestion,
