Returns array with date indicating when the mission has started (after briefing screen). In OFP this command is bugged – it works only in multiplayer on a player-hosted machine and on a client. In single player it would return [0,0,0,0,0,0] and on a dedicated server – [1970,1,1,0,0,0]. In CWA this command is fixed.

In arma 3 this command returns [0,0,0,0,0,0] in SP, [1970,1,1,0,0,0] on dedicated server and [1970,1,1,0,0,0] initially and then server real time on local headless client. On player clients it shows client's local date and time. Since '''Arma 3 v1.49''' the dedicated server also returns correct mission start date.
