{p 4 4 2}
returned is either a real or string scalar, depending on the value of 
{it:name}.


{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:c(}{it:name}{cmd:)} returns Stata's 
c-class value; see {bf:{help creturn:[P] creturn}}.

{p 4 4 2}
Do not confuse {cmd:c()} with {cmd:C()}, which makes complex out of 
real arguments; see {bf:{help mf_c:[M-5] C()}}.


{title:Remarks}

{p 4 4 2}
See 
{bf:{help creturn:[P] creturn}} or, in Stata, type 

	{cmd:. creturn list}

{p 4 4 2}
to see what is stored in {cmd:c()}.  Among the especially useful 
{cmd:c()} values are 

		{it:string} {cmd:c("current_date")}
		{it:string} {cmd:c("current_time")}
		{it:string} {cmd:c("os")}
		{it:string} {cmd:c("dirsep")}


{title:Conformability}

    {cmd:c(}{it:name}{cmd:)}:
	    {it:name}:  1 {it:x} 1
	   {it:result}: 1 {it:x} 1


{title:Diagnostics}

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:c(}{it:name}{cmd:)}
returns a string or real depending on the particular {cmd:c()} value
requested.  If {it:name} is an invalid name or contains a name for which no
{cmd:c()} value is defined, returned is "".
