Answer 1

Windows 98, really?!

You can do it like this:

echo 2019-01-02|date

The 2019-01-02 part should be the same when you manually input the date.
So if the prompt let's you input mm-dd-yy, you should change that to 01-02-19 like date.

For automatically Enter to date, do this:

echo.|date

If you are not setting a new date, but just output the current date,
then(not work in Win98):

date /T
