subjunctive: Not to be late or not be late.

[Cisco795]

"I told him not be late" (subjunctive).
"I told him not to be late" (indicative).

Can I use either one at my own discretion or should I rather stick to only one of the two?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
God bless you.
Cisco.

I would never use the first one....
I told him not to be late. - is correct, indirect speech, and in direct, I would say> I told him:''Don't be late''.

I hope I'm right....
