In our TSO area we test batch and online ssytenms based on FUTURE dates.

So even though todays date is November 3, 2004 our business date is April 4, 2005.

depending on what future date we are on we run various batch schedules via Control-M.

Currently we manually look up the future date and order in the appropriate schedules.

I would like to get REXX to:

- determine what day of the week any future date is
- determine what schedules should be run for that date ( excluding weekends and most holidays )

The output does not have to be anything fancy.

Can REXX handle this ?

Rather easily. As an example:

Code:

/* REXX */                     
GDATE = 20041231               
DOW   = DATE('W',GDATE,'S')   
SAY DOW                       

Which correctly shows that Dec. 31st of this year is a Friday.
