Greetings, Jonathan...

Jonathan de Boyne Pollard hastily said to Darren Hamilton:


 DH>> Is the 32-bit command interpreter specific to OS/2 v4.0? I tried the
 DH>> DATE /N command with OS/2 v3.0 (FP 40 and 32-bit CMD.EXE file) and
 DH>> received an error message:
 DH>>
 DH>> SYS1036: The system cannot accept the date entered.

 JdBP> If you crank up IBM's 16-bit CMD, and run the TIME command with the /?
 JdBP> option, you will notice that it documents a /N option.

Not on Warp Connect it doesn't... this is with FP42.  The only thing that
comes up if you use DATE /? is:
"Use the DATE command to display or change the system date or to reset the
date on your computer clock.  You can use any syntax... [usual syntaxes not
repeated]....
Type DATE without any parameters to display the current date settings and
prompt for the new date.  Press Enter to keep the same date."

If you use "Help date", you get essentially the same information except in INF 
format..
