How to move decimal to the right?

I have a time variable that is supposed to formatted as yymmdd.xxxx where xxxx is the fraction of the day. However, the variable is displayed as y.ymmddxxxxx. How do I move the decimal to the right so its formatted correctly?

If the date is represented as a floating point numeric class, why can't you just multiply it by the appropriate value? -- or are you just looking at the number expressed in scientific notation?

format long
D = 1.1223344444 % assuming the number is as described

D = 
   1.122334444400000

D = D.*1E5 % the number is now as requested, but it displays in scientific notation

D = 
     1.122334444400000e+05

fprintf('%.5f\n',D) % display it differently (it's still the same number)

112233.44444

Sounds like a floating point time variable... this problem would not happen with datetime objects.
