FDate Intrinsic (function)
..........................

     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.

   Note: CTime Intrinsic (function).
