\paragraph{Example}

We create a quarterly date using the function \texttt{qq}; this function
returns an IRIS serial date number. We then use \texttt{dat2char} to
print a humna-readable text representation of that date.

\begin{verbatim}
d = qq(2015,3)
d =
   8.0620e+03
dat2char(d)
ans =
2015Q3
\end{verbatim}
