Date and time format question

[J. Landman Gay]

  Similar to Bob's but includes the delimiters:

 -- create UTC timestamp: -- format: "2013-07-20T00:00:00Z"
  put the seconds into tTime
  convert tTime to dateitems
  subtract (char 1 to -3 of last word of the internet date) from item 4 of 
tTime
  convert tTime to dateitems
  set the numberformat to "00"
  put item 1 of tTime &"-"& (item 2 of tTime)+0 &"-"& (item 3 of tTime)+0 & 
"T" & (item 4 of tTime)+0 &":"& \
        (item 5 of tTime)+0 &":"& (item 6 of tTime)+0 & "Z" into tTimestamp
