Not sure to what extent this will help you. Chk if you can use the following combining with date function.

$ ls -l /usr/sadm/bin/*date*
-r-xr-xr-x 4 root bin 9376 Apr 6 2002 /usr/sadm/bin/errdate
-r-xr-xr-x 4 root bin 9376 Apr 6 2002 /usr/sadm/bin/helpdate
-r-xr-xr-x 4 root bin 9376 Apr 6 2002 /usr/sadm/bin/valdate
$
