Is DB2 available to this program?

Give this a try (for FUNCTION usage, requires a minimum version/release of COBOL/370) -

Code:

03  WS-NBR-DAYS         PIC  9(08).                         
03  WS-DAY-OF-WK        PIC  9(01).                         
03  WS-JUNK             PIC  9(08).                         
03  WS-GREG-DATE        PIC  9(08).                         
03  WS-INPUT-DATE       PIC  X(10)      VALUE '23-12-2006'. 
                                                             
MOVE WS-INPUT-DATE (7:)     TO WS-GREG-DATE (1:4).           
MOVE WS-INPUT-DATE (4:)     TO WS-GREG-DATE (5:2).           
MOVE WS-INPUT-DATE (1:)     TO WS-GREG-DATE (7:).           
COMPUTE WS-NBR-OF-DAYS      = (FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE     
                              (WS-GREG-DATE)).               
DIVIDE WS-NBR-OF-DAYS       BY 7                             
                            GIVING WS-JUNK                   
                            REMAINDER WS-DAY-OF-WK.         
IF  WS-DAY-OF-WK = ZERO                                     
    MOVE 7                  TO WS-DAY-OF-WK
END-IF.                 

Afterwards, WS-DAY-OF-WK will contain a value of 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday).

Regards,

Bill
