WEEK() - globals.WEEK() - VFP to Servoy Code Reference

WEEK() - globals.WEEK()

Returns a number representing the week of the year from a Date(time) expression.

VFP code example

? WEEK(DATE()) // Returns a value between 1 and 53

Servoy code example

var d = new Date()
application.output(globals.WEEK(new Date())    // ISO 8601 week nr
application.output(globals.WEEK(new Date(),1)    // USA/Canada week nr

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

Conclusion:

This is a good example of a function in Visual FoxPro that is easy to use but certainly is not easy to determine in Servoy (as far as I know). I wrote a function that supports both the ISO 8601 (european week numbering) and the USA/Canada week numbering logic. By default the function applies the regional settings. This function could be useful for non-VFP developers as well.
