FT_DAYTOBOW( [ <dGivenDate> ] ) -> nDays

Arguments

<dGivenDate> is any valid date in any valid date format.
Defaults to current date if not supplied.

Returns

Description

FT_DAYTOBOW() returns the number of days to the beginning of the
week. Normally this will be one less than the value that
would be returned by the Clipper function DOW(), unless the
day for the beginning of the week has been changed with
FT_DATECNFG().

Examples

dDate := CTOD( "09/15/90" )

? DOW( dDate ) // 7
? CDOW( dDate ) // Saturday
? FT_DAYTOBOW( dDate ) // 6

// change beginning of week to Friday (yeah!)
FT_DATECNFG( , 6 )
? DOW( dDate ) // 7
? CDOW( dDate ) // Saturday
? FT_DAYTOBOW( dDate ) // 1
