DATE$ function

As Wiki shows Date$ is a function that returns a string value... it cannot be used as a string variable to initialize!

Hey Eric does it work from a .bat file?

Also this Unsupported keywords Wiki page states alraedy in the first few lines why it don't give an error. Clear advantage for people who are willing to look around by themself instead of complaining over and over.
