DATE
Displays or sets the system date
See also <TIME> <AUTOEXEC.BAT>
COMMAND TYPE: Internal VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: DATE [mm-dd-yy]
If DATE is entered with no parameters, the current date will be
displayed and you will be prompted to enter a new date. If the date
is correct, press ENTER.
If you wish, you may enter the date immediately after DATE in the
format mm-dd-yy. The format used to display the date is a function of
the country selected in the <COUNTRY> command in <CONFIG.SYS>. European
formats will be dd-mm-yy. On input, you may use "-" or "/" as
separators. This command also sets the hardware clock, if one is
present in your computer (AT only)
If there is no <AUTOEXEC.BAT> file, the commands DATE and <TIME> are executed
automatically when the computer is booted.
