The _TIME command_ is not generally spelled 'D' 'A' 'T' 'E'. (-:
Here's the help text message for the TIME command from IBM's 16-bit CMD as
supplied with OS/2 Warp 4.0.6 :
[C:\]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] [/N]
where:
hh Specifies the hour.
mm Specifies the minute.
ss Specifies the seconds and the hundredths of a second, separated
by a period.
/N Means no prompt for TIME.
Type TIME without parameters to display the current time setting
and the prompt for a new time. Press Enter to keep the same time.
Type TIME with parameters to enter the time without being prompted
by the system.
[C:\]
As I said, documenting the option is as far as IBM's 16-bit CMD goes. It
doesn't actually implement it. The 32-bit CMD does, however:
[C:\]ver
CMD 0.1.18 OS/2 2.40.0
[C:\]time /n
Current time is: Sat 1999-10-02 10:56:36 +0100
[C:\]
