Input | 
The IA options won't allow entry of the following
subscripted input variables.  All variables defined below are optional:
VADAT("F") - use this to have the date returned in a format other than FM.
set to 1 for MM-DD-YY format
set to 2 for military or DD-MMM-YY format
if defined and set to anything other than 1 or 2, it will
assume VA fileman format.  VADAT("D") - If VADAT("F") is
defined, this variable may be passed to
contain a delimiter if one other than the dash ("-") is
desired.  Pass VADAT("D")="/" to receive MM/DD/YY, for
example.  VADAT("T") - Define if you do NOT want time returned
regardless of date
passed.  VADAT("W") - If a time other than NOW is desired, pass
this as any
date/time (or date) in VA fileman format VADAT("H") - If you only
want to see portions of the date, you may pass
this variable.  '1' will denote day, '2' - month, and '3' -
year.  So to see just month and year, pass VADAT("H") as '23'
or '32'.  Note:  If VADAT("T") is not defined and a time
exists, it will also be returned.  VADAT("S") - If defined,
seconds will be returned.  If not defined, no
seconds will be returned.  VADAT("J") - Pass this as a numeric
value to justify the external
date/time returned.  If the date/time is longer than the
value passed, the entire date/time will be returned.  VADAT("S")
- pass this if you WANT to see seconds.
