- DDAATTEE and JJDDAATTEE return the current date. DDAATTEE returns the current date
- in ASCII _m_m//_d_d//_y_y format. JJDDAATTEE returns the current Julian day-number
- facsimile in ASCII _y_y_d_d_d format, left-justified and blank-filled.
-
- If called as intrinsic functions, DDAATTEE and JJDDAATTEE do not accept any
- arguments. The names of these intrinsics cannot be passed as
- arguments.
-
- If called as external subprograms, they accept the following argument:
-
- _d_a_t_e For DDAATTEE, _d_a_t_e is a variable containing today's date in
- _m_m/_d_d/_y_y format. For JJDDAATTEE, _d_a_t_e is today's Julian day-number
- facsimile in _y_y_d_d_d format.
-
- The data type of _d_a_t_e depends on your platform, as follows:
-
- * On UNICOS or UNICOS/mk systems, it must be of type integer,
- CCHHAARRAACCTTEERR**88, or real. If _t_i_m_e is of type integer or real, it
- must be of KKIINNDD==88.
-
- * On IRIX systems, _d_a_t_e must be declared as CCHHAARRAACCTTEERR**88.

- When called as an intrinsic function, the data type of the return
- value depends on your platform. On UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems, it
- is of type Boolean. On IRIX systems, it is of type CCHHAARRAACCTTEERR**88.

- For Fortran 90 programs, the DDAATTEE and JJDDAATTEE intrinsic functions are
- outmoded. Refer to the _F_o_r_t_r_a_n _L_a_n_g_u_a_g_e _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e _M_a_n_u_a_l, _V_o_l_u_m_e _3,
- publication SR-3905, for information on outmoded features and their
- preferred standard alternatives.
-
- For both DDAATTEE and JJDDAATTEE, the year will become 00 in the year 2000.
-
- On IRIX systems, you can use either the intrinsic function form or the
- external subprogram form, but not both, in a single processing unit
- (PU).
