Well, the date.exe command on arcaos/ecomstation is very special.

It works in two easy ways:
1.)
c:\Foo\klibc\bin\date -u >> joes.asc
the path to date.exe must be used. Otherwise date wont work properly. Seems to
be a big bug.
the second way is like this:
=##= Anfang "date_.cmd" =##=
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* date_.cmd */
/* Rexx for typical date */
/* 25.11.2018 Torsten Bamberg */
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
call RxFuncAdd 'SysSleep', 'RexxUtil', 'SysSleep'
datestring=date('N')
foo_out = joes.asc
echo' 'datestring' >> 'foo_out
exit(0)
=##= Ende "date_.cmd" =##=
This rexx script creates or appends a 11/25/18 in a textfile named joes.asc

I know this now. the date-command is a bit tricky and buggy.
