I seem to remember somewhere (in rpg ile ???) that you could determine what
day of the week it was?  Can anyone help me out?


You can get the current day of week through the CL command,  RTVSYSVAL
SYSVAL(QDAYOFWEEK) RTNVAR(&WKDAY) .
This will return  *SUN, *MON   etc.

Or Using RPGLE to get a Numeric value of 0 to 6 by starting with a KNOWN Sunday
put into a  *ISO DATE Field

Put your work date into another *ISO DATE Field

DayDIFF  is    5S 0
DayofWeek is  1S 0


WORKDAT        SUBDUR          SUNDAY              DayDIFF:*D
           DIV      7         DayDIFF
          MVR                 DayofWeek


The number returned will be
0 = Sunday
1 = Monday

ETC.
