GETDATE
                                =======

          Procedure to split a date into its numeric components


Usage:
======

        GETDATE [<date>], YYYY%, MM%, DD%, hh%, mn%, ss%, WD%

where

        <date> is an optional date in seconds. If no date is provided
                  the routine gets the current date from the RTC

The following are all return-only variables, any prior contents will be
overwritten on the routine's return:

        YYYY%  is the year              (1961..2097)

          MM%  is the month             (1..12)

          DD%  is the day of month      (1..28, 29, 31)

          hh%  is the hour              (0.23)

          mn%  is the minute            (0..59)

          ss%  is the seconds           (0..59)

          WD%  is the day of the week   (0..6 = Sunday..Saturday)


Where a date is given, it must be a floating point variable.
All other parameters must be integer (variable name ending on %).
All seven integer parameters must be present, although the actual variable
    may be ommitted, eg:

        GETDATE ,,,,,, WD%: REMark Get today's week day number only

If the LAST parameter is omitted then, in SMSQ/E at least, you need an
    extra comma:

        GETDATE some_date, YYYY%,, DD%,,,,,


Programming notes:
==================

If you subscribed to the ideas presented in Knoware.no, you will have all
the missing bits to re-assemble this code. Only those bits that have not
appeared in the libraries etc earlier are included here.

Otherwise, a link to instructions on how to set about this can be found on
the Knoware.no Toolkits page.

To assemble the code yourself to, for example, add it to a bespoke toolkit,
just unzip GetDate.zip library into the standard locations (or copy the
relevant files there) an' Bob's yer uncle!
