Joe,
I think format %tCCCYY-NN-DD!THH:MM:SS gets what you want.
-mytime- below is a double precision variable formated as above.
+-------------------------------------------+
| timestr mytime |
|-------------------------------------------|
1. | 22 08 2007 23:54:00 2007-08-22T23:54:00 |
2. | 22 08 2007 11:54:01 2007-08-22T11:54:01 |
3. | 22 08 2007 6:56:10 2007-08-22T06:56:10 |
+-------------------------------------------+
I generated this by typing in the -timestr- values then
converted them to internal format via:
.. gen double mytime = Clock(timestr, "DMY hms")
Note that you must be careful with -Clock()- vs. clock()
and other such things to be sure that the leap seconds work out right.

Could someone show what the format statement is in order to get the
following date-time format for a double-precision variable containing a
timestamp?

I've read the help file for dates and times, but am unable to use the new
syntax correctly.
