&&i need to get 20040804025040 (.00 cut off) back to eventt2 and in the character format....

This should do the job:

eventt2 = alltrim(str(int(eventtime)))

or perhaps you mean something like:

eventt2 = TRANSFORM(xx,'@R 9999/99/99 99:99')

It should read:

eventt2 = TRANSFORM(eventtime,'@R 9999/99/99 99:99')

Counting the numbers it should be:
eventt2 = TRANSFORM(eventtime,'@R 9999/99/99 99:99.99')
