GetDayOfWeek - Get Day of Week from Date

Syntax Diagram

day = getDayOfWeek( [ date ] );

The getDayOfWeek subprocedure returns the day of the week as 1 to 7 (1=Sunday, 2=Monday, etc.) for the given date.

If no date is specified for the first parameter, the current system date is used and its day is returned.

      /free
            today = getDayOfWeek();  // Return today's day of week
            yesterday = getDayOfWeek(%date() - %days(1));  // What was yesterday?
            shipOn = getDayOfWeek(shipDate);  // On which day did the order Ship?
      /end-free

Valid date fields or the %DATE built-in function may be specified for the date parameter. If no date parameter is specified, then the current system date is used.
