Description

This command displays or sets the current date for the system. If no parameters are used, it shows
the current date. If a valid month, day, and year are provided, then the system's date is updated.
Rules are:

Except for numeric characters and /, all other characters in the argument are invalid. The
Shell reports an error if the number is in the wrong month/date/year range.

A space before or after the numeric character is not allowed. Inserting a space into the number
is invalid.

The year range is greater than or equal to 1998. Two numeric characters indicate the year.
Numbers below 98 are regarded as 20xx, and numbers equal to or above 98 are regarded
as 19xx. 00 means 2000. For example:

Shell> date 8/4/97
Shell> date
8/04/2097
Shell>
Shell> date dblk8/4/98
Shell> date
08/04/1998
Shell>

The range of valid years is 1998–2099.
