Command
Type
Purpose
Displays the current time as shown on the system's internal clock. Allows resetting
of the clock.
Syntax
TIME [ hh : mm : ss ] [pm≠am]
Remarks
The time set by this command is used, among other things, for Òtime stampingÓ
your Þle revision dates. This information is displayed when you execute a
directory listing of your Þles.
You may want to include the TIME command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT Þle, to set
the date at bootup. If your computer has an internal battery-operated clock, you
won't need to do so.
The format of the time command is also dependent on the country speciÞed in
CONFIG.SYS. The time is displayed according to local standards for the speciÞed
country.
Also see the DATE command.
If you just want to check the time maintained by ROM-DOS, type the TIME
command by itself. ROM-DOS will display something like:
Current time is 3:00:02.48p
Enter new time:
after which you merely press <Enter> to return to an empty command line.
If you want to change the time you can include the desired time on the prompt line
after the word TIME. Or you may type the command with no option (as you do to
check the time) and enter the new time before pressing <Enter>.
ROM-DOS displays the time according to the 24-hour clock with the a or p
indicator to show AM or PM. The AM/PM indicator can be typed as a or p or as
5-90
