CDOW() - globals.CDOW()



Returns the day of the week from a given Date or DateTime expression.

 

VFP code example

d = DATE(2072,10,15)
? CDOW(d)      // Saturday

 

Servoy code example

utils.stringFormat('%tA', new Array(new Date(2072,9,15))) // Saturday

// OR using the CDOW() function alternative:

var d = new Date(2072,9,15)              // MONTH 9 = OCTOBER  !!
application.output(globals.CDOW(d))      // saturday/samstag/zaterdag

Note: CDOW() is a function of the VFP2Servoy Toolkit

 

Conclusion:

This function actually works better than it does in Visual FoxPro because it returns the day of the week in the current Locale whereas VFP returns it in English only. The only pain is in the fact that the Date() function in Servoy/JavaScript has the crazy logic that the first month (January) is 0 and the first day is 1?! Better add a DATE() function as well.
