Re: Day of the week

MB,

This may very well be the perfect RPG date routine, but how do you know 
this works?  Will it have problems if converted to RPGIV?  Over the years I 
have come across at least three variations of this routine.  I usually was 
made aware of their existence when they failed or the code that used them 
failed.  I have found bugs in some of them.  For example, DBASE used a 
similar routine with 30.57 as the multiplier.  News/400 published a utility in 
the 
early 90's that used 30.6001.  You have used 30.6.  I would opt for the RPGIV 
solution because I believe the built-in date routines are tested and work.

There are a number of ways to do this: but the routine I was looking for
also does this as a side benefit...
