Is there a function in Fortran77 to get the date and time?

Thanks in advance for your help.

On PC you can use the Interrupt 0x21 DOS function. You may have to write a short assy subroutine. I don't know about WINDOWS

I don't think the Fortran standard had a function for date and time until Fortran90 (DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic). Some suppliers of Fortran77 had extensions for the date and time but you'll need to find it in your compiler documentation.

Microsoft/Digital/Compaq/HP Fortran has two built-in subroutines to return the time and date.  Check the "help" on "GETDAT" and "GETTIM".  You typically call these as follows:

C
        CALL GETDAT( IYR, IMON, IDAY )
        CALL GETTIM( IHR, IMIN, ISEC, IHUND )
C

Where all arguments are INT*2 variables.
