DATE
IDATE [mm/dd/yy]
Command
I
Resets the date or displays the current system date.
You can use DATE to see today's date. You can also use DATE to
change the date that TRSDOS uses.
You first set the date when
you
start up your computer. DATE lets
you change
it
without turning your computer off and
on.
Use
mm/dd/yy
to reset the date. mm is a 2-digit month specification;
dd
is a 2-digit day of the month specification;
yy
is a 2-digit year
specification. If you omit
mm/dd/yy,
TRSDOS displays the current
date.
It
is
important
to
set the date because TRSDOS uses the date when
creating and accessing files, making backups, and formatting disks.
TRSDOS restricts the date to between
01/01/80 and 12/31/87. If you
enter a date outside of this range,
an
"Illegal date" error results.
