title: MATLAB date number too short - how to get MATLAB to stop shortening my Serial Date Number
body: <p>I need to extract the dates from a set of data <code>s</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I use the command <code>s(x).comm.date</code> where x can be changed for each person however it is returning the serial date number as <code>7.3244e+005</code> which just gives me the day but I need it to show much more detail something like this <code>732162.65994213</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know if the data I have is already saving it as the shorthand format but it's a set of data from MIT and the help documentation shows it as the long hand format so I sincerely doubt this.</p>
  
  <p>Yours,
  MATLAB Newbie</p>
