So it would appear. From Minerva Technical Guide, section BAS.1:
"The date procedures now accept a wider range of parameters. DATE
accepts the six-parameter format formerly used by SDATE, allowing you to
convert this form for use with DATE$ and DAY$ and SDATE now accepts a
single parameter in additional to the original six parameter syntax. So:
PRINT DATE$ (DATE(1962,3,21,9,0,0))
will print 1962 Mar 21 09:00:00
and more usefully
PRINT DAY$(DATE(1962,3,21,9,0,0))
will print Wed"
