<dt><em>Description</em>:<dd><code>DATE_AND_TIME(DATE, TIME, ZONE, VALUES)</code> gets the corresponding date and
time information from the real-time system clock. <var>DATE</var> is
<code>INTENT(OUT)</code> and has form ccyymmdd. <var>TIME</var> is <code>INTENT(OUT)</code> and
has form hhmmss.sss. <var>ZONE</var> is <code>INTENT(OUT)</code> and has form (+-)hhmm,
representing the difference with respect to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Unavailable time and date parameters return blanks.
<p><var>VALUES</var> is <code>INTENT(OUT)</code> and provides the following:
