The $N8601H format writes ISO 8601 durations, intervals, and datetimes in the following forms, omitting components in the PnYnMnDTnHnMnS form and using a hyphen ( - ) to represent omitted components in the datetime form:

PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
PnYnMnDTnHnMnS/yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssT/PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss/yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss

Omitted datetime components are always displayed; they are never truncated.
