Date and Time
The
Time
register is used to print current time in the 24-hour system on objects automatically.
The
Date
register is used to print current date in the leap year system on objects automatically.
The structure of the date and time registers is similar. If you edit a subfile that is to be a time (date)
register, follow the rules given below:
•
the time (date) register is built of up to 8 meaningful characters (6 digits to be updated and
2 separators),
•
when the register is updated, data is input starting from a non-space character until 8 defining
characters are inserted or until another space or the end-of-subfile are encountered,
