WEEKDAY$
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Returning the name of the weekday from a specified date.
Syntax WEEKDAY$()
is the date for which the name of the weekday, according to
a list of weekday names created by means of NAME
WEEKDAY$ statement , will be returned.
Remarks This function returns the name of the weekday according to a list of weekday
names specified by means of NAME WEEKDAY$ statement or, – if the
name is missing – the full English name in lowercase characters, e.g. “friday”.
The date should be entered according to the syntax for the DATE$ variable,
i.e. in the order YYMMDD, where:
YY = Year Last two digits (e.g. 1999 = 99)
MM = Month Two digits (01–12)
DD = Day Two digits (01–28|29|30|31)
Example: June 1, 1999 is entered as 990601.
The built-in calendar corrects illegal values for the years 1980 – 2048, e.g. the
illegal date 991232 will be corrected to 000101.
Example This example shows how to make the printer return the name of the weekday
as a 3-letter English abbreviation in connection with a formatted date:
10 FORMAT DATE$ ", MM/DD/YY"
20 DATE$="990601"
30 NAME WEEKDAY$ 1, "Mon"
40 NAME WEEKDAY$ 2, "Tue"
50 NAME WEEKDAY$ 3, "Wed"
60 NAME WEEKDAY$ 4, "Thu"
70 NAME WEEKDAY$ 5, "Fri"
