-
- ENVTIME allows the user to create environment varialbles that contain
- the current date and time. These variables can then be used to make
- decisions or to create file names, etc, in BATch files.
-
- ENVTIME is simple to use. The output is a series of "SET" commands that
- must be redirected to a BAT file, then the BAT file executed. For
- example, in the file "MAIN.BAT", insert the following lines:
-
- envtime > settime.bat
- call settime
- del settime.bat
-
- Notice the use of "CALL" so that MAIN.BAT resumes operation after
- SETTIME.BAT is executed. This will only work in DOS 3.3 and higher.
-
- The batch file created will look like:
-
- @echo off
- Set YEAR=1992
- Set PYEAR=1991
- Set YR=92
- Set PYR=91
- Set MON=07
- Set DOM=18
- Set DOW=Sat
- Set HOUR=12
- Set MIN=01
- Set YDOM=17
- Set YMON=07
- Set YYEAR=1992
- Set YYR=92
-
- Thus, the environment variables created will be:
- YEAR - 4 digit year
- PYEAR - 4 digit previous year
- YR - 2 digit year
- PYR - 2 digit previous year
- MON - 2 digit month
- DOM - 2 digit day of month
- DOW - 3 character day of week (Sun, etc)
- HOUR - 2 digit hour of day
- MIN - 2 digit minute of hour
- YDOM - 2 digit yesterday day of month
- YMON - 2 digit yesterday month
- YYEAR - 4 digit yesterday year
- YYR - 2 digit yesterday year
-
- All numeric variables will include a leading zero, if necessary, to fill
- the field. For example, at 1AM the HOUR variable will be set to 01.
