How to change datetime format?

Given this:

datetime('02-Jul-2023','InputFormat','dd-MMM-yyyy')

ans = datetime
   02-Jul-2023

How can I get this format ?

datetime('02-Jul-2023 22:00:00')

ans = datetime
   02-Jul-2023 22:00:00

You can specify different formats for the input and display:

DT = datetime('02-Jul-2023','InputFormat','dd-MMM-yyyy', 'Format','dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss')

DT = datetime
   02-Jul-2023 00:00:00

If it is an existing DATETIME object, then simply modify its FORMAT property as you wish, e.g.:

DT.Format = 'uuuuDDD' % ISO 8601 day-number format

DT = datetime
   2023183
