FDate()
FDate: CHARACTER*(*) function.
Intrinsic groups: unix.
Description:
Returns the current date (using the same format as CTIME()).
Equivalent to:
CTIME(TIME8())
Programs making use of this intrinsic might not be Year 10000 (Y10K) compliant. For example, the date might appear, to such programs, to wrap around (change from a larger value to a smaller one) as of the Year 10000.
