Has anyone else had issues with the DOWK function returning the wrong day of the week?

Is it a known issue?

DOWK works just fine for us. Use it all the time.

What makes you think it is incorrect?

Are you by chance using I6YMD dates?

You may need to tweak your DEFCENT and YRTHRESH values to make sure you are looking at the correct century.

SET YRTHRESH = 00
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES 
COMPUTE TODAY/I6YMD = &YMD;
COMPUTE TODAY_DOWK/A4 = DOWK(TODAY, 'A4');
COMPUTE TODAY_DOWKL/A12 = DOWKL(TODAY, 'A12');
BY COUNTRY
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

SET DEFCENT = 20

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES 
COMPUTE TODAY/I6YMD = &YMD;
COMPUTE TODAY_DOWK/A4 = DOWK(TODAY, 'A4');
COMPUTE TODAY_DOWKL/A12 = DOWKL(TODAY, 'A12');
BY COUNTRY
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END




Cheers
