Explanation

The $ symbol is commonly used in job control and scripting systems to validate or ensure a valid date is returned. In many systems, prefixing a date-related function or variable with $ forces validation or indicates that the result should be a properly formatted date. Other symbols like #, &, * have different meanings (comments, concatenation, wildcards).
