identifier-2
Can be a group, elementary alphanumeric, alphanumeric-edited,
X numeric-edited, external decimal, internal decimal, binary, internal
X floating-point, or external floating-point item.
Format 2 accesses the current date in two formats--the day of the week or the time of day as carried by the system, which can be useful in identifying when a particular run of an object program was executed. You can also use Format 2 to supply the date in headings and footings.
Note: The current date and time is also accessible via the date/time intrinsic function CURRENT-DATE, which also supports 4-digit year values and provide additional information (see "Intrinsic Functions" in topic 7.1).
