<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p><code>FDATE(DATE)</code> returns the current date (using the same format as

<code>CTIME</code>) in <var>DATE</var>. It is equivalent to <code>CALL CTIME(DATE,
|
TIME())</code>.
|
</p>
|
<p>This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
|
only one form can be used in any given program unit.
