You could just split the job up into seperate steps each of which was your required time for output.

It is possible to request output in a number of different ways, now including at specified time points (they don't have to be uniform).

See section 14.12.2 (Field output) and 14.12.3 (History output) of the V6.6 ABAQUS/CAE Users manual

As corus said, why don't you split your step ?

Another solution would be to modify the default Dm factor under the *CONTROLS,PARAMETERS=TIME INCREMENTATION card (see Keywords Ref Manual) :
- specify an adequate initial increment
- set Dm to 1.0
But it is imho far more complicated ...
