'''This page is maintained for historic purposes. The keyword is not supported in QB64. Reading the current date is supported with the [[DATE$|DATE$ function]].'''
* The current date (as assigned when the operating system was initialized) can be saved to restore later with the [[DATE$]] function.
*The DATE$ function returns a 10-character string in the form ''mm-dd-yyyy''. ''mm'' is the month (01 to 12), ''dd'' is the day (01 to 31), and ''yyyy'' is the four digit year.
* '''Note: Some systems may not allow the DATE to be reset or require Administrator privileges.''' Try a batch file or [[SHELL]].
