MATLAB: Date format – need HHMM as 2400 instead of 0000

Question

Dear Matlab community,

I'm formatting dates for a USACE HEC-HMS application that requires next day datetimes as HHMM 2400 instead of 0000. For example:

t1 = datetime(2013,9,8,23,0,0);   % Start Date/time (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss)
t2 = datetime(2013,9,9,1,0,0);    % End Date/time  (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss)
t = t1:hours(1):t2;               % 1 hour intervals

datetime matrix 't' produces "09-Sep-2013 00:00:00" in column 2 and I would like it to produce "08-Sep-2013 24:00:00".

Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Chris

I doubt the datetime data type will let you. When I tried it, it converted 24 to 0.
