SFDT$–System Standard Format Date and Time
The date and time in TDATE$ format (optional). The default is the current date and
time.
The time in TIME$ format (optional). The default is the current time.
Parameters datefmt, timefmt, buflen, and bufaddr are required; sep is optional and is set
to zero (space separator) if omitted; offset is optional and is set to zero if omitted.
Output Buffer
The SFDT$ packet and the buffer to contain the ASCII string must be in the same
D-bank. This D-bank must be based when SFDT$ is called.
The caller-provided buffer must be large enough to hold the ASCII string generated by
the specified format. If not, the ASCII string is truncated to the length of the buffer
(buflen), and the error return is taken. If the buffer length is greater than the format
length, the buffer is space-filled to the end of the buffer.
22.1.2. Calling Sequence
SFDT$ is called with the MASM PROC S$FDT$. This PROC can call SFDT$ as a
relocatable element, a common bank element, or a common bank element using the
auto-switch method.
Calling Format
S$FDT$[,t] pktaddr [date] [time]
error return
normal return
Parameters
t
The type of call to SFDT$. This parameter is optional and may be omitted. CB or A,
if specified, must be enclosed by apostrophes.
blank Call the relocatable version of SFDT$. This is the default if t is omitted.
'CB' Call the common bank version of SFDT$.
'A' Call the common bank version of SFDT$ using the auto switch method.
