The VMSTIMEF. format is specific to OpenVMS.
You cannot specify a width with this format; the width is always 8 bytes.
OpenVMS date and time values that are read in with the
VMSTIME. informat
retain precision up to 1/100 of a second,
even though SAS cannot display anything less than whole seconds. If you later
use the VMSTIMEF. format to write out
the date-time value, the precision is
retained.
