The CDF_PARSE_EPOCH16 function parses a properly-formatted input string into a double-complex value properly formatted for use as a CDF_EPOCH16 variable.
Note: CDF_EPOCH16 variables may be unparsed into a variety of formats using the CDF_ENCODE_EPOCH16 or CDF_EPOCH16 functions.
Result = CDF_PARSE_EPOCH16(Epoch_string)
Returns the double-precision complex value of the input string properly formatted for use as a CDF_EPOCH16 variable.
A formatted string that will be parsed into a double precision complex value suitable to be used as a CDF_EPOCH value. The format of the date string is:
DD-Mon-YYYY hh:mm:ss.ccc.uuu.nnn.ppp
