DISPLAY DATE AND TIME ???

[aas1611]

Hi,

I need some help to display the current DATE and TIME. I just need a simple output. For example if the date is Dec 19, 2001, it's simply printed as 121901. and if the time is 9:15:23, it's printed 091523.
And I need a program that's compatible with DOS 6, 486 processor.

Thank you very much for every answer that leads me to solution!!
Merry Christmas..

The easiest thing to do is use CDate. If you are using a time stamp struct it has a conversion built in. CDate has a Format method which will format the string how you speicify. The help section of vc explains this.

Or use the standard C library:

#include <time.h>

{
  time_t tLocalTime;
  struct tm* ptMyTime;

  time(&LocalTime);
  pMyTime = localtime(&LocalTime);

  /* if desired, extract the pieces to variables */
  int iHour = pMyTime->tm_hour;

  /* but use sprintf() to format the pieces */
}
