The 42S as you know has no clock and no equivalent clock functions. I had to create a 25 line program to alpha display time in output similar to the ATIME function on the 41CX. Also, the time must be manually input via a prompt for some of my programs to function.

The DM 42 is supposed to have the 41CX time module functions and the time is to be callable by the program.

DM-42 runs Free42, which has some of the Time Module functions: http://thomasokken.com/free42/extensions.html
No live clock, and no stopwatch, and no alarms.

Assuming DM-42 has a real-time clock, the TIME and DATE functions should work. The ADATE, ATIME, ATIME24, CLK12, CLK24, DATE+, DDAYS, DMY, DOW, and MDY functions should work regardless, since they don't depend on any underlying hardware or OS functionality.
