Date (command)
See also Date (disambiguation)
The Date command sets the system date, which is accessed to record when files are saved and determines the value of the string function DATE$.
Comments and Examples
The following example identifies the month as 10 (October), the day as 16, and the year as 1989:
DATE 10-16-89
The next example will return a string similar to: Thursday, August 14, 2008
Date$("Day, Month D, CCYY")
Syntax
Default
Return the date in yy/mm/dd format.
Parameters
Date's two parameters allow you to separate the elements of the date by slashes ("mm/dd/yy") or by dashes ("mm-dd-yy").
Technical Considerations
Changes to the date apply only to a single workstation - current session only.
