RE: Day of the week

Here's one that accepts a 8,0 YYYYMMDD as input.  You can modify to your
standard date format.  date_t and the constants are defined in the copy
member for the service program that this is part of.

     *********************************************************************
      ***  Returns the day of the week of the date, if no date parameter is
      ***    passed then it returns the day of the week of the current day.
      ***    Constants are defined for the return value: SUN, MON, TUE, WED,
      ***    THU, FRI, SAT.
