D0 D1
struct DateStamp *DateStamp(struct DateStamp *)FUNCTION
DateStamp() takes a structure of three longwords that is set to the current time. The first element in the vector is a count of the number of days. The second element is the number of minutes elapsed in the day. The third is the number of ticks elapsed in the current minute. A tick happens 50 times a second. DateStamp() ensures that the day and minute are consistent. All three elements are zero if the date is unset. DateStamp() currently only returns even multiples of 50 ticks. Therefore the time you get is always an even number of ticks.
Time is measured from Jan 1, 1978.
INPUTS
ds - pointer a struct DateStamp
RESULTS
The array is filled as described and returned (for pre-V36 compabability).
