VMS Help PASCAL, Predeclared Routines, Misc, NONSTANDARD_DATE_AND_TIME  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  These  procedures  write  the  date  and  the  time   to   their
  parameters.   These procedures are Compaq Pascal extensions, and
  have the forms:

     DATE( str )

     TIME( str )

  The parameter 'str' must be of type PACKED ARRAY[1..11] OF CHAR.
  After  execution of the procedure, the 'str' contains either the
  date or the time.  If the day of the month is a 1-digit  number,
  the leading zero does not appear in the result; that is, a space
  appears before the date string.  The time is returned in 24-hour
  format.
