Idiom #261 Format time hours-minutes-seconds

Assign to the string x the value of fields (hours, minutes, seconds) of the date d, in format HH:MM:SS.

(defvar *x* (format NIL "~2,'0D:~2,'0D:~2,'0D" 12 34 56))
with Ada.Calendar.Formatting;
X : constant String :=
    Ada.Calendar.Formatting.Image (D) (12 .. 19);

Image returns date as well therefore the slice
