Parameter

time

   Specifies a date in the format day-month-year, or a time in the
   format hour:minute:second.hundredth, or both. These fields accept
   the following values:

   Field      Type    Values

   Day        Integer 1 to 31
   Month      String  JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP,
                      OCT, NOV, or DEC
   Year       Integer 1858 to 9999
   Hour       Integer 0 to 23
   Minute     Integer 0 to 59
   Second     Integer 0 to 59
   Hundredth  Integer 0 to 99

   The hyphens (-),  colons (:), and period (.)  are required
   delimiters. Separate the date and time, when both are specified,
   with a colon. The syntax is sometimes specified as follows:

   [dd-mmm-yyyy[:]] [hh:mm:ss.cc]

   Alpha systems also allow a 2-digit year format:

   [dd-mmm-yy[:]] [hh:mm:ss.cc]

   The century applied to the 2-digit year format is determined by
   the corresponding year in the supported Alpha date range (1957-
   2056). A 2-digit year in the range 57-99 is assumed to mean the
   years 1957-1999; a 2-digit year in the range 00-56 is assumed to
   mean the years 2000-2056. (To specify years outside the 1957-2056
   range, you must enter a 4-digit year.)

   If the explicit time value is not specified, the interval system
   clock is automatically reset according to the time-of-year clock.

   For further information about the time-of-year clock, see the
   hardware documentation for your computer.


                                  NOTE

      Alpha systems maintain system time during power failures
      and system down time. When a system is booted, if the time
      is known to be earlier than the time value of the last time
      modification, or greater than five years in the future, you
      are prompted to enter the time at the console prompt.
