The ''→DATE'' command sets the date on the calculator. The date is expressed by a real number and its format depends on the state of flag [[manual:appendix:flags#flag-42|-42]]:

  * if the flag [[manual:appendix:flags#flag-42|-42]] is set the date is expressed as **DD.MMYYYY**;
  * if the flag [[manual:appendix:flags#flag-42|-42]] is cleared the date is expressed as **MM.DDYYYY**.

where:

  * **DD** is the day;
  * **MM** is the month;
  * **YYYY** is the year.

If **YYYY** is not supplied, the current specification for the year is used. The range of allowable dates is **January 1, 2000** to **December 31, 2090**. Inputs between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 1999 are __silently rejected__ by ''→DATE''; no error is reported and the system date is left unchanged.
