Day of Week Function

[EDISR@detroitedison.com]

Or ... why not try a CASE statement, assuming you are not in QDESIGN! 
 
E.g.  
 
DEFINE d_day_num = MOD(DAYS(anydate),7) 
DEFINE d_day_of_week CHAR*9 = CASE OF d_day_num & 
  WHEN 0 THEN "Sunday" & 
  WHEN 1 THEN "Monday" & 
  etc. 
 
BTW, why CAN'T I use the CASE statement in QDESIGN?  I understand it is much 
more efficient processing wise than an IF,THEN,ELSE. 
 
Of course this could lead into one of my pet grips - the inconsistency of 
syntax between QDESIGN,QUIZ and QTP.  I guess it separates the 'men' from
the 
'boys' ;)
