What is the most efficient way of determining the day of the week given the date? If you had to write a NetLinx function to do something based on what day of the week it was, what would you do?

    Netlinx has a built in function for determining day based on date:
    DAY_OF_WEEK
    Returns the day of the week for the specified date.

    Syntax:

    SINTEGER DAY_OF_WEEK (CHAR LDATE[ ])

    Parameters:

    LDATE - string containing the date in mm/dd/yyyy format.

    Result:

    Integer representing the day of the week (1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, etc.).

    Example:

    nDAY = DAY_OF_WEEK ('2/13/1999') // nDAY = 7 (Saturday)

    Toss a comparator using the above function into a timeline that repeats every day and if the day is a match, call your function.
