   Well, the date.exe command on arcaos/ecomstation is very special.

   It works in two easy ways:   
   1.)   
   c:\Foo\klibc\bin\date -u >> joes.asc   
      
   the path to date.exe must be used. Otherwise date wont work properly. Seems to   
   be a big bug.   
      
   the second way is like this:   
      
   =##= Anfang "date_.cmd" =##=   
   /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/   
   /* date_.cmd                                                               */   
   /* Rexx for typical date                                                   */   
   /* 25.11.2018  Torsten Bamberg                                             */   
   /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/   
   call RxFuncAdd 'SysSleep', 'RexxUtil', 'SysSleep'   
      
   datestring=date('N')   
      
   foo_out = joes.asc   
      
   echo' 'datestring' >> 'foo_out   
      
   exit(0)   
   =##=   Ende "date_.cmd" =##=   
      
      
   This rexx script creates or appends a 11/25/18 in a textfile named joes.asc   
      
    JS> Because the one I used for windows and or DOS doesn't work.   
   I know this now. the date-command is a bit tricky and buggy.   
      
    JS> Thanx   
   You are welcome.
