TIME--Notes

Specifying an invalid TIME format

If you specify the time in an invalid format, MS-DOS displays the following 
message and then waits for you to specify the time:

    Invalid time
    Enter new time:_

Changing the TIME format

You can change the TIME format by changing the COUNTRY setting in your
CONFIG.SYS file. For more information, see the <COUNTRY> command. Depending
on the country code, MS-DOS will display the time in the 12-hour format or
the 24-hour format. If you are setting the time in the 12-hour format, be
sure to specify P for hours after noon.

Ensuring that MS-DOS prompts you for the time

If you want MS-DOS to prompt you for the current time whenever you start
your system, you can add the TIME command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. MS-DOS
will automatically prompt you for the time and date if you do not have an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
