NAME: ENCODE_CDFEPOCH PURPOSE: Convert a 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss' string into CDF epoch time CALLING SEQUENCE: e = encode_cdfepoch(instring) INPUTS: instring = string in the form: 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss' KEYWORD PARAMETERS: epoch16 - if set, the value returned is double complex epoch16 value tt2000 - if set, the value returned is a 8 byte integer tt200 value if not set, return the usual epoch double value OUTPUTS: e = CDF epoch timetag (i.e. DOUBLE, millisecs since 0 A.D.) if /epoch16 set, return an epoch16 value which is a double complex. Newly supported in IDL6.3 and CDF3.1 - added here by TJK on 7/19/2006. if /tt2000 is set, return a tt2000 value which is an 8 byte int. Newly support in CDF3.3.3 to support leap seconds... by TJK 8/22/2011.
