@Date( year ; month ; day ; hour ; minute ; second )
@Date( time-date )

Number. The year that you want to appear in the resulting date. You must specify an entire four-digit year. (For example, use 1996, not 96).

Number. The month that you want to appear in the resulting date. (For example, use 1 to specify January).

Number. The day that you want to appear in the resulting date.

Number. The number of hours. This value will be truncated from the resulting date.

Number. The number of minutes. This value will be truncated from the resulting date.

Number. The number of seconds. This value will be truncated from the resulting date.

Time-date or time-date list. For a time-date value such as @Now or [10/31/93 12:00:00], @Date removes the time portion of the value, leaving only the date.

truncatedTimeDate

Time-date. The date corresponding to the parameters that you sent to @Date, minus any time components.

If the parameter is a date-time list, the function operates on each element of the list, and the return value is a list with the same number of elements.

Specifying invalid numbers will result in a blank date.
