IDATE
The IDATE routine returns the current date as three integer values
representing the month, date, and year; the format is as follows:
CALL IDATE (m, d, y)
where m, d, and y are either INTEGER*4 or INTEGER*2 values representing
the current month, day and year. For example, the values of m, d and y on
August 10, 1989, are
m = 8
d = 10
y = 89
ERRSNS
The ERRSNS routine returns information about the most recent program
error; the format is as follows:
CALL ERRSNS (arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5)
The arguments (arg1, arg2, and so on) can be either INTEGER*4 or
INTEGER*2 variables. On return from ERRSNS, the arguments contain the
information shown in Table 4-3.
Although only arg1 and agr4 return relevant information, arg2, arg3, and arg5
are always required.
