To clarify further:

The TIME macro has since been extended with a huge amount of
optional parameters.

Unless I am very much mistaken you get exactly the same result
today as you got 40 years ago by just coding TIME without any
arguments. (Anything else would be contrary to IBM policy which
has always been very strict on source compatibility across
releases).

The alternative presentation modes come when you add arguments
in your macro call.
