DATE

Abbreviation

DA

Arguments

A string enclosed in parentheses.

Default

The date obtained from the operating system.

Description

The A51 assembler includes the current date in the header of each page in the listing file. The DATE control allows you to specify the date string that is included in the header. The string must immediately follow the DATE control and must be enclosed in parentheses. Only the first 8 characters of the date string are used. Additional characters are ignored.

NOTE

The default date generated by the A51 assembler is read from DOS and is presented in the format dd/mm/yy, where: dd  is the date (01 - 31), mm  is the month number (01 - 12), and yy  is the last two digits of the year.

You may specify this control only once on the command line or at the top of the source file.
