Omitting the date when using maketitle

I'm using the author and title commands to produce a title with maketitle. I also know that there is a date command to specify the date of my work. However, if I omit date, maketitle will produce the current date. How do I achieve that no date is displayed at all?
documentclass{article}
author{Author, A.}
title{Alpha}
begin{document}
maketitle
Some text.
end{document}
titles datetime

If you want a blank date, just use date{}.
If you want to remove the spacing altogether where the date usually goes, look into using the titling package, or else the mechanisms provided by your document class, depending on what it is.

If I usedate{}with thearticleclass (instead of simply omitting the date), the vertical alignment of any following text will change as if the spacing was removed.

For future reference: if you want to use thetitlingpackage to remove space, you can dopredate{}andpostdate{}and thendate{}(as above). The same can be done for author (preauthor{},postauthor{}, andauthor{}) and title. To remove the space after the title line itself, doposttitle{parend{center}}, which is the same as the defaultposttitleexcept with thevskip 0.5emomitted (seetexdoc titling, page 2).

Today the spacing seems to be gone already, so it should be fine.

For future reference: if you want to use the
titling package to remove space, you can do predate{} and postdate{} and then date{} (as above). The same can be done for author (preauthor{}, postauthor{}, and author{}) and title. To remove the space after the title line itself, do posttitle{parend{center}}, which is the same as the default posttitle except with the vskip 0.5em omitted (see texdoc titling, page 2).– Reid

For a cheap and easy solution to removing the spacing without delving into the titling package that frabjous mentions, try:

date{vspace{-5ex}}
