JSI Tip 7047. How do I convert a date to the day number and day name?

I have scripted Day.bat to calculate the day number and day name.

The syntax for using Day.bat is:

call day yyyy mm dd daynumb daytext

where yyyy is the 4 digit year, mm is a 2 digit month, and dd is a 2 digit day of the month. Daynumb is a call directed environment variable that will contain the day number, where Monday is 1 and Sunday is 7. Daytext is a call directed environment variable that will contain the day name (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday).

NOTE: This script was modified on 24-Aug-2003 to fix a century problem.

Daybat contains:
