For the following examples, $ZDATEFORM is assumed to be one (1).

Example:

	GTM>DO ^%D
	22-NOV-2002
	

This example invokes %D in Direct Mode. Then %D displays the current date.

Example:

	GTM>DO INT^%D
	GTM>ZWRITE
	%DAT="22-NOV-2002"
	

This example invokes %D with the label INT (INT^%D). The variable %DAT contains the current date. ZWRITE displays the contents of the output variable.

Example:

	GTM>WRITE $$FUNC^%D 
	22-NOV-2002	
	

This example invokes %D as an extrinsic function with the label FUNC. $$FUNC^%D returns today's date.
