-However, since the year 2000, the subroutine has set the ''yyb'' portion of the returned date to the //first// three digits of the current year, giving the same value for all years of a given decade. For example, for every year between 2010 and 2019, DATE returned "201" in the ''yyb'' portion of the date string.

-This renders the year portion of DATE's output useless for most purposes. A work-around is to program a date subroutine in another language that correctly processes the TOPS-20 system date (such as MACRO assembly language) and call that subroutine from your FORTRAN source instead of the FORTRAN DATE subroutine.
