Re: RPG400

Andrew,

A couple of questions: What release are you at? Are you willing to do
this in RPGIV?

For starters you need to determine which day of the week the 1st day of
the month is.  A search of the archives at midrange.com will provide you
with a variety of answers.  Then when you create your calendar, you can
decide if the first day of the week is Sunday or Monday.

To determine if the year is a leap year, you can either test for the
validity of 29.2.xx or use the old fashioned way, test the full 4 digits
i.e.: 2000 if it divides evenly by 4, test if divides by 100, test if it
divides by 400.  Use the MVR opcode immediately after the DIV to
determine if there is a remainder.

    If divides by 4, but not 100, it is a leap year.
    If divides by 4, and also 100, it is -not- a leap year unless it
also divides by 400.
