NAME

fdate − return date and time in an ASCII string

SYNOPSIS

subroutine fdate (string)
character∗(∗) string character∗(∗) function fdate()

DESCRIPTION

fdate returns the current date and time in string as a 24-character value in the format described under ctime(3C).  Neither ’newline’ nor NULL will be included. 

fdate can be called either as a function or as a subroutine.  If called as a function, the calling routine must define its type and length. For example:

 character∗24   fdate
external       fdate
 write(∗,∗) fdate()

SEE ALSO

NOTES

When compiling source with the -Qocs option, this routine may not be called as a function because character values are returned differently under the 88Open OCS standard.
