What does "editor commands" mean?
Creating an answer would be more efficient, if you explain more details, e.g. where the date should appear, how the date is stored and what you have tried already.

yourDate = 735863.622733333; % Perhaps a serial date number
plot(1:10, rand(1, 10)); % a diagram
text(0.01,0.01, datestr(yourDate), ...
'Units', 'normalized', ... % Not depending on the data
'HorizontalAlignment', 'left', ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom');

Vishnu, you could add to your function or script
text(0,0,datestr(clock))
Would that do the trick?

Thank you for your answer.But this command will give the current date and time only. Actually i wants to insert an old date and time and i wants to position it to the left side bottom of the plot also.is it possible?

Sure. With the datestr command you can convert any date to string format, which is what you need for the text command.
