⎕TS is an ISO 13751 standard niladic system function which returns the current date and time. For example, the ⎕TS function typed into the NARS2000 session manager window on February 21, 2013 at about 10:49 pm local time, returns the following:

      ⎕TS
2013 2 21 22 43 23 724

The value returned is an array of year, month, day, hour, minute, second and milisecond.

⎕TS is a niladic function, you cannot assign a value to it, meaning NARS2000 cannot set the current date or time through ⎕TS. If you need to set the date or time, you have to use the appropriate feature of your operating system.
