My previous message just explained how to print a Duration object.
If you want to print the current time, you have to use Ada.Calendar.
For example:

with Ada.Text_Io;
use Ada.Text_Io;
with Ada.Calendar;
use Ada.Calendar;

procedure Print_Current_Date is
    Current_Time : Time := Clock;
    Current_Year : Year_Number := Year (Current_Time);
    Current_Month : Month_Number := Month (Current_Time);
    Current_Day : Day_Number := Day (Current_Time);
begin
    Put_Line (Year_Number'Image (Current_Year) &
	      Month_Number'Image (Current_Month) &
	      Day_Number'Image (Current_Day));
end Print_Current_Date;
