I want to use a date function to tell which day of the week a date is. Is this the best class to use and where can I find it?

You're probably better off using the Java java.util.Calendar and java.util.DateFormat classes.

There are some examples in Rosetta Code too: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Day_of_the_week#NetRexx

You need to import java.util.SimpleDateFormat.  java.util.DateFormat is more flexible but requires more work on your part.  SimpleDateFormat is simpler to use :-)

You could overcome the issue by using:

import java.util.

but it brings in way more than you normally need so it is preferable to be explicit but it comes at the cost of more typing.

Hey Kenneth, in addition to the import that Alan mentioned, I think you are misunderstanding the call. 

The “parm” value of “EEE” would be Wednesday,Wednesday, Wednesday.  The parm you want to pass is to Date() if not today.  The simpledateformat takes the argument of how you want the output format.

 

Parm = “4/16/2013”

fd = SimpleDateFormat("E")  /* day of the week */

dt = fd.format(Date(Parm))

say dt

“Tuesday”

In each 400 day section of the Gregorian day number, each day number evenly divisible by 7 is a Sunday, as I remember.

Ken,

Yup... that's what I use. If the attachment is stripped contact me off list.

It didn't compile.  It needs the xmath package too.  I've come across this before. It appears that the NetRexx tutorial (http://www.netrexx.org/Tutorial/nr_1.html) has become disconnected from it's source code.

I added the xclasses.jar file to the tools page on netrexx.org.

The tutorial itself needs some work before I can link to it again. It looks very dated and sometimes sent people in the wrong direction. I hope someone can invest some time into it.

best regards,

René.
