Code:

#include <stdlib.h>   // For system()

int main()
{
   system("date");
   return 0;
}

You can use cstdlib as well, but be sure to code the rest of your code in ANSI C++ then.

you can also use process.h

hey, i just recently made a program that uses the net send thing, if you want the code i can post it for you

The correct way to access DOS commands is via int 21h. There are a host of functions that you can access on this interrupt.
Check the DOS tech refs for information on correct register values and on how to interpret return values.
