FDate Intrinsic (subroutine)
............................

     CALL FDate(DATE)

DATE: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: `unix'.

Description:

   Returns the current date (using the same format as `CTIME()') in
DATE.

   Equivalent to:

     CALL CTIME(DATE, 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 (subroutine).

   Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as
only a function, not as a subroutine.
