Greetings, Jonathan...
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard hastily said to Bob Wright:
JdBP> The _TIME command_ is not generally spelled 'D' 'A' 'T' 'E'. (-:
....
I *actually* did try both of them, then blithely reported the wrong one...
JdBP> Here's the help text message for the TIME command from IBM's 16-bit CMD
JdBP> as supplied with OS/2 Warp 4.0.6 :
And here's the "correct" Warp Connect one...
F:\]time /?
Use the TIME command to display or change the system time or to reset
the time on your computer clock.
Syntax:
TIME: [hh:mm:ss]
where:
hh Specifies the hours.
mm Specifies the minutes.
ss Specifies the seconds and the hundredths of seconds, separated
by a period or comma.
Type TIME without parameters to display the current time setting and
the prompt for a new time. Press enter to keep the same date.
^^^^^
( This is NOT
a "typo", it is verbatim... Even IBM's editors aren't perfect I guess..)
Type TIME with parameters to enter the time without being prompted by
the system.
JdBP> As I said, documenting the option is as far as IBM's 16-bit CMD goes.
JdBP> It doesn't actually implement it. The 32-bit CMD does, however:
JdBP> [C:\]ver
JdBP> CMD 0.1.18 OS/2 2.40.0
JdBP> [C:\]time /n
JdBP> Current time is: Sat 1999-10-02 10:56:36 +0100
JdBP> [C:\]
F:\]ver
The Operating System/2 Version is 3.00
F:\]time /n
SYS1003: The syntax of the command is incorrect.
