DATE - Change the system date

 
 Purpose:    Display and optionally change the system date. 
             
 Format:     DATE [mm -dd -yy ] 
             
             mm :  The month (1 - 12). 
             dd :  The day (1 - 31). 
             yy :  The year (00 - 99, or a 4- digit year). 
 
 See also:  TIME. 
 Usage 
 If you simply type DATE without any parameters, you will see the current 
 system date and time, and be prompted for a new date.  Press ENTER if you 
 don't wish to change the date.  If you type a new date, it will become 
 the current system date, which is included in the directory entry for 
 each file as it is created or altered: 

 
         [c:\] date
         Mon  Dec 22, 1997  9:30:06
         Enter new date (mm-dd-yy):
 
 
 You can also enter a new system date by typing the DATE command plus the 
 new date on the command line: 

 
         [c:\] date 10-16-97
 
 
 You can use hyphens, slashes, or periods to separate the month, day, and 
 year entries.  The year can be entered as a 4-digit or 2-digit value. 
  Two-digit years between 80 and 99 are interpreted as 1980 - 1999; values 
 between 00 and 79 are interpreted as 2000 - 2079. 
 DATE adjusts the format it expects depending on your country settings. 
  When entering the date, use the correct format for the country setting 
 currently in effect on your system.
