You have to do that yourself or use some other library.

Same date for what? Creation, Modification? Access?

If it's modification time then use one of the overloaded 
"Modification_Time" subprograms. If it's creation/access then you could 
check if your compiler provides the optional standard package 
"Ada.Directories.Information" and if it is good enough to provide 
functions to access those.
