You can have date output the current date and save it in an environment variable. The test the return string against the known BAD value. Something like… set /e TODAY=date /d if “%TODAY%” == “Current date is TUE 01-30-2024” goto BadDate goto GoodDate :BadDate date time :GoodDate set TODAY= Or, if you want to get a little more fancy… date /d | vstr /b /f “ “ 5- | set /p TODAY= if “%TODAY%” == “01-30-2024” goto BadDate (see above) Or, even just check the year… date /d | vstr /b /f - 3 | set /p YEAR= if “%YEAR%” == “2024” goto BadDate (see above) Or, even better… date /d | vstr /b /f - 3 | set /p YEAR= if NOT “%YEAR%” == “1980” goto GoodDate date time :GoodDate set YEAR=
