Hi mark -  I'm moving over  a date function to use "format" - but in the
docs I could not figure how to make it add trailing zeros? "%2d" did not
seem to work:

        if extended is true then
            -- 1981-04-05T14:30:30-05:00
            put "%4s-%2s-%2sT%2s:%2s:%2s-%4s" into baseString
        else
            -- 19810405T14:30:30-05 00
            put "%4s%2s%2sT%2s:%2s:%2s %4s" into baseString
        end if

        put format(baseString, y, mons, d, h, mins, s, z) into fDate

 What should I usee?
