fdate(3f)

Name
fdate - returns date and time in an ASCII string

Syntax
character*len fdate, date
external fdate
date = fdate( )

Description
The fdate function returns the current date and time as a 24-character string in the format described in ctime(3). Neither `newline' nor NULL is included.

The fdate function can be called as a function or as a subroutine. If called as a function, the calling routine must define the type and length. For example:
         character*24   fdate
         external       fdate
         ...
         write(*,*) fdate()

If fdate is called as a subroutine, the call is as follows:
         character*24   date
         external       fdate
         call fdate(date)
