Hi all, long time reader, first time poster :D
I've got a page i've put together in javascript, and one of the fields takes the date (in dd/mm/yyyy) format.
What I'm trying to do, is if a user enters a date which falls on a weekend (eg, 07/11/2009), then to throw an error.
I've had a play, but i'm very confused and couldn't get anything to work :(
Fingers crossed someone can help :D
Thanks

Create a new Date object from the input and
use its getDay() or getUTCDay() method.
Saturday returns 6, Sunday is 0.
If d is a date object, d.getDay()%6==0 is true if the day is Saturday or Sunday.

Anywhere within the validation part of the function, though the function itself isn't the best out there. The function doesn't convert to the Date object. Try doing that. For the Date object, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Cor...e/Objects/Date.
I'm fairly certain I remember seeing weekend and leapyear detection as a feature when I was checking out this library: http://fisforformat.sourceforge.net/
It has a ton of great date related stuff and is the best tool I've found for formatting Date Objects.

Might some kind soul take on this Oracle statement and
translate it into DB2? Yes ... I know the equivalent of SYSDATE
is CURRENT TIMESTAMP, and that DUAL is SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1.
But I'm puzzled by the 'Q' (Quarter), and NEXT_DAY
translations. Thanks.
SELECT
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Q') Q,
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM') MON,
TO_CHAR(NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE,'SUNDAY' ),'MM/DD/YYYY') WEEKEND,

I need to write a report in which one part shows a count of how many
total records fall within the working days (Monday - Friday) inside of a
(prompted) given date range, in a particular geographical region.
I have written a query which prompts the user for the start and end
dates. It also filters for entries which pertain to the particular
geographical region.
I'm not sure where to go from here.

Hi all
I'm trying to calculate the number of days (or workdays) between 2 given
dates that do not include weekend days or public holidays
(public holidays are user defined from a dbase, have a start date & an end
date & may span a weekend)
If a start date (workday) & an end date (workday) are on the same day then
the number of workdays will equal zero
Some eg's.

Greetings Access Gurus! I am working on an app to send batch

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
