Some explanation for the benefit of the archives and watchers.

The reason for this is that the 'tmax' vdef will have two components - a value (IE the max value of the ds) and a time (the time at which this max value occurred).

The GPRINT will print one or the other; if you do not have :strftime, it will print the value component, according to the display string which is in sprint format.  If you add :strftime, it will print the time component, according to the specified strftime format.

Thus, to print both as you want, you need two GRPRINT directives (one for each component), as you have done.
