two~digit
second specification. If .ss is omitted, .OOisuseq.
If hh.mm.ss is given,
TRSDOS
resets tbe time.
If hh.mm.ss is not given,
TRSDOS
displays the current time and date.
This command lets you reset the time or display the date and time.
The operator sets the time initially when
TRSDOS
is started up. After that,
TRSDOS
updates the time and date automatically, using its
built~in
clock and
calendar.
When you request the time,
TRSDOS
displays it in this format:
THU JUl 19 1979 200 -- 14.15.31
for Thursday, July 19, 1979, the 200th day of the year, 2:15:31 pm.
Note: If the time passes 23:59:59,
TRSDOS
does not start over at 00:00:00.
Instead, it continues with 24:00:00. However, the next time you use the
TIME
or
DATE
command, the time will be converted to its correct 24-hour value,
and the date will be updated. If the clock is allowed to run past 59.59.59, it will
re-cycle to zero, and the date will not be updated to include the 60-hour
period.
