string |
(Output; optional) Character*(*). It is returned as a 24-character string in the form: Mon Jan 31 04:37:23 2001 Any value in string before the call is destroyed. |

CHARACTER*24 FDATE USE IFPORT
CHARACTER*24 today
!
CALL FDATE(today)
write (*,*), 'Today is ', today
!
write (*,*), 'Today is ', fdate()
