This is what you are looking for..

Update to *DATE facility

Versions of *DATE shipped with original Level 3 File Servers ceased to
function correctly on 1st January 1990. They now report that the year is
`198:'.

Two new versions of the *Date program are available on S.I.D. in the Dealer
closed user group area.

The two versions of the *Date program are :-
DATE_M
This runs in the utilities pages in the Master-128 ( Page &DD00). It will
therefore run without conflict with other Master 128 programs. It should be
transferred to directory $.library1 on the file server disc, and renamed as
*Date.
DATE_9
This runs in page &900 of a BBC computer. It will not therefore work if the
BBC computer is being used with applications that use the serial or cassette
interfaces. It should be transferred to directory $.Library on the file
server disc, and renamed as *Date.
