Name = SRP_Date("DayOfWeekName", DayOfWeek, NameLength = "Full", Locale = "")
Returns
The human readable name for the given day of the week.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| DayOfWeek | A day of week identifier, 1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday. (REQUIRED) |
| NameLength | How the name is to be returned: options are "Full", "Abbreviated", and "Shortest". (OPTIONAL) |
| Locale | A locale for culture specific names. (OPTIONAL) |
Remarks
The "DayOfWeekName" service retrieves the cultural specific name for a given day of the week. The DayOfWeek parameter must be an integer between 1 and 7, with 1 being Monday and 7 being Sunday. The value returned depends on two factors: NameLength and Locale. NameLength can be on of three options: "Full" returns the full name, "Abbreviated" returns the commonly used abbreviation, and "Shortest" returns the shortest possible name without being ambiguous. Locale is the locale name used to target a specific language.
Here is a sample of possible return values if the DayOfWeek is set to 4. The top row is the Locale value and the left column is the NameLength value:
| en-US | es-MX | fr-CA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | Thursday | jueves | jeudi |
| Abbreviated | Thu | jue. | jeu. |
| Shortest | Th | ju. | je |
