Remarks
The date set by this command is used for date stamping your file
revision dates. This information displays when you execute a directory
listing of your files.
If your computer does not have an internal battery-operated clock, you
may want to include the DATE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to set the date at boot-up.
The format of the date command is also dependent on the Country
specified in CONFIG.SYS. The date is displayed according to local
standards for the specified country.
Also see the TIME command.
Examples
If the command is entered without the specification of mm-dd-yy, the

enter a new date.

Enter new date (mm-dd-yy):
