MS DOS Command: DATE

Reference from Microsoft MS-DOS cmd help

Description

Displays the date and prompts you to change the date if necessary.

MS-DOS records the current date for each file you create or change; this date is listed next to the filename in the directory.

Syntax

DATE [mm-dd-yy]

Parameters

mm-dd-yy

Sets the date you specify. Values for day, month, and year must be separated by periods (.), hyphens (-), or slash marks (/). The date format depends on the COUNTRY setting you are using in your CONFIG.SYS file. The following list shows the valid values for the month, day, and year portions of the mm-dd-yy parameter.

mm	1 through 12
dd	1 through 31
yy	80 through 99 or 1980 through 2099

Related Command

For information about changing the current time, see the TIME command.

Remarks

Adjusting for days in a month

MS-DOS is programmed to change months and years correctly, whether the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.

Using the DATE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

To prompt users for the date every time the computer is restarted, include the DATE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Changing the date format

To display the date in other format besides mm-dd-yy, add the COUNTRY command to your CONFIG.SYS file. You can change the date format to the European standard format (dd-mm-yy) or to the Scientific International (Metric) format (yy-mm-dd).
