Package script date to variable

for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do (
set Day=%%k
set Month=%%j
set Year=%%l
set DATE=%%k/%%j/%%l)

I am trying to get the date in the above variables in a batch script, but currently the date is output as

2011/04/

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

You will not get what you expected, because it %DATE%returns the current date using the Windows settings for the “short date format”. This setting is fully (infinitely) customizable.

One user can customize their system to display a short date like Fri040811; while another user (even on the same system) can select 04/08/2011. This is a complete nightmare for the BAT programmer.

The following script will give local time with time zone information (TZ) in both true ISO8601 and human format (without 'T'). It converts the TZ offset in minutes to the required format HHMM, for example, 2019-01-25T08:26:55.347+1300and 2019-01-25 08:26:55.347+1300for NZ with DST.

set ldt8601=%ccyy_mm_dd%T%hh_mm_ss%%_fff%%tzsign%%tzHH%%tzMM%
echo %ldt%
echo %ldt8601%

You probably want to delete one of the echo commands

EDIT for those who wanted a colon in TZ, change %tzHH%%tzMM%to%tzHH%:%tzMM%
