Use the DATE2DWY function of CAL. It stands for Date to Day of Week Number, Week Number & Year.

U can get the Day of Week Number, Week Number and Year from the date.


Example:

lvDay := DATE2DWY(TODAY, 1);

CASE lvDay OF
  1: Message('Monday');
  2: Message('Tuesday');
  3: Message('Wednesday');
  4: Message('Thursday');
  5: Message('Friday');
  6: Message('Saturday');
  7: Message('Sunday');
END;

Check out C/SIDE Help for details.
