IF DATE$==2017/9/9 THEN PRINT"Something" ?

is there a way to make something happen on a specific date with command like on the title or somehow like that? because when i tried it, it printed that text regardless on the date or is it possible to make a variable that equals date? if i can't do it then all my plans are ruined

You can use DTREAD to extract the year,month,day,and day of the week.

DTREAD OUT year,month,day[,weekday]

So to detect Halloween you would do:

DTREAD OUT ,MONTH,DAY
IF MONTH==10 && DAY==31 THEN ...

This should work. thank you!
