Subject:      Time format with leading zero?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi folks,

Am I going mad or losing my memory?  I surely must have encountered this a
million times before!

Is there not a format (available in v8.2) which produces what I would have
thought was the most commonly required format for a time variable,
namely  HH:MM with HH padded with a leading zero if necessary - i.e. 07:59,
rather than 7:59 (which is what time5. appears to produce)?  There are
obviously workarounds one could implement, but I just find it hard to
believe that such an intrinsic format does not exist!

TIA.

Kindest Regards,

John
