Subject: [HP3000-L] Quiz Day

All,


I hope the subject didn't induce a memory of school day panic.
I was actually referring to PowerHouse Quiz v8.19.C4.


I would (almost) swear that I used to determine the day-of-the-week within Quiz
to make adjustments to dates.   Example:  If today is Monday, gather records from last Friday.


I'm sure that I could probably pass the HPDAY variable into Quiz via a jobstream, but I was trying to avoid that if I could and do it strictly within Quiz.  I can report SYSDATE, SYSTIME, SYSDATETIME, but not something like SYSDAY.


Has anyone tackled that before?
Is there maybe a PowerHouse system variable that can be set for Quiz to access?
Other?


Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions, John Sommer
