The '''Date''' [[internal function]] calculates and returns dates in ''numeric format'', using no dashes or slashes as separators. Date numeric variables can now represent time of day in the fractional space (to the right of the decimal point), as of 4.3.

	The optional "days" parameter represents the desired date as a sequential value in relation to a base date of January 1, 1900. Thus January 1, 1900 would have a days value of 1; January 1, 1901 would have a days value of 366 (1900 was not a leap year).
