I agree that to be able to "tweak", in this context, has not much use (e.g.
you want day 1 to be sunday).

But if you want to use SQL for everything if there is some function
provided, then why not throw RPG out altogether and program everthing in
SQL/PL?

It's not the "preprocessor" machinery, it's having all kinds of
dependencies etc. For example you need to change the member type from RPGLE
to SQLRPGLE, because you need to do some date math. When the program runs,
the SQL runtime machinery is also initialized, just for some date maths,
which in every other language you don't need to resort to embedded SQL
Maybe it's optimzed that if you only call some functions it has no
overhead, but i don't know, etc..

Use SQL for DB tasks, use RPG for the rest.







Use SQL

Tweakable? Might be useful if you discover that IBM has a bug, but if
they are truly falling outside of ISO specs then they should fix that
posthaste. But if your definition of tweakable is that you want to
combine the first Monday after the quarter into Tuesday and report them
both as day of week 2 then I suppose that may hold some water. (Granted,
if I saw that logic it might be hard for ME to hold water.)

On the bright side, you could show your management how much the purchase
of the SQL option would simplify code. That is one shining example.

You don't need the SQL preprocessor machinery, just to do some date
calcs.

And it's tweakable.

From http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeknummer (which is in dutch) :

To calculate the ISO weekday (1=monday) for a given date:

p IsoWkdayNum b export
d IsoWkdayNum pi 10i 0
d date d const

d d s 10i 0

/free

d = %diff(date:d'1970-01-04':*d);

if d < -6;
return 7 - %rem(%abs(d) - 7 : 7);
elseif d < 0;
return 7 + d;
endif;

d = %rem(d : 7);

if d = 0;
return 7;
endif;

return d;

/end-free
p e


To calculate the ISO weeknumber for a given date (using the previous
IsoWkdayNum) :
The year must be from 1584 to 9998, else it returns 0.

p IsoWeekNum b export
d IsoWeekNum pi 10i 0
d date d const

d y s 10i 0
d m s 10i 0
d d s 10i 0
d w1 s 10i 0
d w2 s 10i 0
d wd1 s 10i 0
d wd2 s 10i 0
d wd3 s 10i 0
d wd4 s 10i 0
d wd5 s 10i 0
d x s 10i 0

/free

// http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeknummer --------------------

y = %subdt(date:*y);

if y < 1584
or y > 9998;
return 0;
endif;

m = %subdt(date:*m);
d = %subdt(date:*d);

// UK02
w1 = %div(%diff(date:%date(y*10000+104:*iso):*d):7);

// UK03
wd1 = IsoWkdayNum(date);

// UK04
wd2 = wd1 - %rem(%diff(date:%date((y-1)*10000+104:*iso):*d):7);
if wd2 < 1;
wd2 = wd2 + 7;
endif;

// UK06
w2 = %div(%diff(%date((y-1)*10000+1231:*iso)

The code above is tested, and is correct.

Hello All,

I have the need to get the date of the first day of the week based on
a
week number. I've looked thorough lots of date functions and can't
seem
to
see a way to get the date of the first day of the week for a
particular
week number. Maybe I need a multi-step process, but I am just
struggling
to see it.

The date can be based off Sunday or whatever arbitrary day could be
considered as the first day of the week, if that helps.

The data is planning data so I really just need to show it as a
quantity
along with a date, but the date needs derived from a week number.

As an example, if I had week number of 1, the date might be
12/29/2014,
week 2 would give me 1/5/2015 and so on.

Can anyone provide some suggestions on a method to get to a date based
off
the week number?

Thank you.
