    But you will notice that the code said:
      DISPLAY 'SIPR702 BEGAN ' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (5:2)
                           '/' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (7:2)
                           '/' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (1:4)
                           ' ' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (09:2) hour
                           ':' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (11:2)
                           ':' FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE (13:2).

    Saying when a program starts doesn't happen 1000 times a second.

    I was under the impression that this gets converted into one call though.
