No, I run it with OS/2 3.0 and no fixpaks, other than a few updated drivers
from FP 17.

DATE /N is not supposed to have a date entered to begin with, but I suspect
you are getting this error msg from the OS/2 DATE command, not with JdBP's
date command.  I don't get an error msg even if I use the /N and a date after
it.
