Below is an example of how to make the DosSetDateTime OS/2 call.

' The user-defined TYPE and function DECLARE are found in BSEDOSPE.BI
TYPE DateTime
     Hour        AS STRING*1
     Minutes     AS STRING*1
     Seconds     AS STRING*1
     Hundredths  AS STRING*1
     Day         AS STRING*1
     Month       AS STRING*1
     Year        AS INTEGER
     Timezone    AS INTEGER
     DayOfWeek   AS STRING*1
END TYPE

DECLARE FUNCTION DosSetDateTime%(SEG P1 AS DateTime)

DIM dayt AS DateTime
CLS
input "Enter the HOUR : ";h%
dayt.hour=chr$(h%)
input "Enter the Minutes : ";m%
dayt.minutes=chr$(m%)
input "Enter the Seconds : ";s%
dayt.seconds=chr$(s%)
input "Enter the Hundredths : ";hd%
dayt.hundredths=chr$(hd%)
input "Enter the Month : ";mn%
dayt.month=chr$(mn%)
input "Enter the Date  : ";dt%
dayt.day=chr$(dt%)
input "Enter the Year  : ";yr%
dayt.year=yr%
input "Enter the TimeZone (number of hours from Greenwich Mean Time) : ";tz%
dayt.timezone=tz%*60%

x=DosSetDateTime%(dayt)

IF (x) THEN
  Print "An error occurred.  The error number is : ";x
ELSE
  print "The system time and date have been reset."
END IF
