.PARAMETER...: /S - Output suffix
.CATEGORY....: parameters
.DISCUSSION..:
Supplying a value for the /S parameter appends the value to the Fdate output:

Example: On July 4, 2003

  set num=3
  fdate /ff /oCCYY-MM-DD /s" -- %num% backup files were generated today"
produces

 2003-07-04 -- 3 backup files were generated today
This feature was needed before the introduction of the /C (custom output format). Since then, there is less need for it, although it is still convenient for many purposes.

This is a companion parameter to the /P parameter.
