RHDCDATE

RHDCDATE is the date and time subroutine application programs use to obtain the system date and time. This routine performs the same function as IDMSDATE, except it does it for IDMS-DC user mode programs. RHDCDATE returns the date in the format MM/DD/YY and the time in the format HHMMSSHH.

This routine does no operating system calls (it uses the IDMS-DC #GETIME macro), so there is no SVC overhead when running under IDMS-DC.
