Not if want to hold to strict F90.
However many compilers support the routine SYSTEM which does the trick.
On a VMS system you can use lib$spawn. Another possibility is to call
system from a C-routine.
BTW your example is ill-chosen since time/date support is available
in standard F90 (DATE_AND_TIME)
