post help on date

[DavidB]

I have this code in my post...

"(PROGRAM CREATED ON THE -", date$," ", time$, ")",e$

 

What it outputs is (PROGRAM CREATED ON THE - 01-12-05 14:10 )

 

How can I make the year read 2005 instead of 05.

I cant find where it gets the date format from in the post, is it from windows?

 

Thanks

David,

 

You may want to try using the DAY$, MON$ and YEAR$ internal variables to access the individual components of the current date. Seeing as we may assume that the year starts with "20" for the next couple of years, you could sent up a formatting statment like:

 

fs 14 1 0n # or an FMT statement similar...

 

fmt 14 day$

fmt 14 mon$

fmt 20 14 year$

 

You could then have your output line read:

 

SPACES$=0

"(PROGRAM CREATED ON - ", year$, "-",mon$, "-", day$," @ ", time$, " )",e$

SPACES$=1

 

Your output should then look like this:

 

(PROGRAM CREATED ON - 2005-11-30 @ 14:10 )

Brad,

 

Where does the post get the DAY MON and YEAR from?

 

Thanks

Any thing with the "$" at the end is a "system" variable.
