Title: RE: Day of the week

Solution:

Subtract a known date in the past from your date.  Divide by 7.  Use the remainder to position into a 7 element table of days.

For example, 1/1/99 was a friday.  If you want to know what day 1/1/2000,

1/1/99  SUBDUR    1/1/2000      daycount:*days
daycount        DIV         7
                MVR                             remainder
                add         1                   remainder

use remainder to point into 7 element table

Hi all,

Since we have a discusion going about the days of the month, how about a
easy routine to find the day of the week?  Any one have a solution?

TIA
Ron
