DAY$

Syntax

DAY$ [(date)] or

DAY$ (year,month,day,hour,minute [,second]) (SMS v2.57+ only)

Location

QL ROM

DAY$ holds the current day as a three character string:

Sun

Sunday

Mon

Monday

Tue

Tuesday

Wed

Wednesday

Thu

Thursday

Fri Sat

Friday Saturday

If you provide a parameter, DAY$ will return the day of the given date (which is stated in seconds after 1/1/1961). DAY$(DATE) = DAY$.

NOTE

As with DATE$, you cannot slice DAY$ unless you have a Minerva ROM (version 1.77 or later) or SMS - see DATE$ for further details.

SMS NOTE

In common with DATE$, from v2.57, DAY$ will now accept five or six parameters as with SDATE and DATE. You can also slice DAY$ (like on Minerva) - see DATE$.

CROSS-REFERENCE

TRA and SET_LANGUAGE allow you to re-define the abbreviations used for the different days. DATE holds the current system date (in seconds after 1/1/1961) as a floating point number, DATE$ as a string.
