ABSTRACT
One of Fortran’s intrinsic subroutines is entitled DATE_AND_TIME and can be invoked by a statement of the form
CALL DATE_AND_TIME &
(ALL=list, COUNT=nticks, MSECOND=millisecs, & SECOND=nsecs, MINUTE=nmins, HOUR=nhours, DAY=nday, &
MONTH=nmonth, YEAR=nyear, ZONE=minaadvance) This subroutine is taken as an example to explain a number of points about intrinsic procedures in general.
