Syntax

dtw(datestring[,jsnumber=kfalse])

Description

Returns the day of the week of a datestring. For JavaScript client-executed code, jsnumber kTrue returns a number rather than a string; in all other cases returns a string unless it is part of a calculation. dtw() assumes Monday is day 1.

Example

Calculate lDate as  dtw(dat('May 8 1977'))
# returns 'Sunday' 

Calculate lDate as  dtw(dat('May 8 03'))+20
# returns 24 

Calculate lDate as  dtw(dat(dat('May 8 03')+20))
# returns 'Wednesday'
