Notes

(a): To be precise, the section between the first and last key character to appear is replaced by a character string according to the specified date format. Therefore, writing 'CCCCC/YYYY' is essentially the same as writing 'CAAAC/YBBY'.
(b): The name of month represented by characters will be output right justified.

`IDATE`	`(I)`	Type 1 date.
`IY`	`(I)`	Year.
`IM`	`(I)`	Month.
`ID`	`(I)`	Day.
`ITD`	`(I)`	Serially-counted day.
`CFORM`	`(C ( ))`	The format for the date. It is both the input and output parameter The key characters that can be used in `CFORM` are: year `'Y'`, month `'M'`, day `'D'`, month represented in characters `'C'`, and day of week `'W'`. For example, for `IDATE=19920401` (which is a Wednesday), `CFORM='APR, 1,92 (WED)'` will be returned by calling `DATEC1` with the specification `CFORM='CCC,DD,YY (WWW)'`.
