Remarks

To set the system date, use the Date statement.

Date, and if the calendar is Gregorian, Date$ behavior is unchanged by the Calendar property setting. If the calendar is Hijri, Date$ returns a 10-character string of the form mm-dd-yyyy, where mm (01–12), dd (01–30) and yyyy (1400–1523) are the Hijri month, day, and year. The equivalent Gregorian range is Jan 1, 1980, through Dec 31, 2099.
