RE: Determining "Business Days" (i.e. No

[Brian Johnson <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pick a date, preferably in the distant past, as your base date.  Compute   
the number of days from the base date to the target date.  Divide the   
number of days by 7.  The remainder is the day of the week of the target   
date (0=day of the week of the base date, 1=next day of the week, etc.)   
 This algorithm is pretty easy to implement with RPGIV and date data   
type.

Determining "Business Days" (i.e. No Saturday/Sunday)

Hi Folks,

Anyone have a method of determining when a day is a business day (i.e.
Mon-Fri) ?
