Program Name...:Datecheck.COM
Author.........:Rusty Brown Irving, Texas
Where Found....:PC WORLD (May 1988 Issue)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
DATECHECK.COM is simple command file that calls DOS function 2A which
returns the weekday as a number from 0 to 6 ie(Sunday is 0, Monday is 1,
etc...). DATECHECK is used by calling the command from a batch file, and
then using the "IF ERRORLEVEL" batch file command to test the value.
EXAMPLE:
echo off
datechek
if errorlevel 6 goto SAT
if errorlevel 5 goto FRI
if errorlevel 4 goto THU
if errorlevel 3 goto WED
if errorlevel 2 goto TUE
if errorlevel 1 goto MON
if errorlevel 0 goto SUN
:SUN
echo Today is Sunday
REM Insert Sunday commands
goto exit
:MON
echo Today is Monday
REM Insert Mondays commands
goto exit
:TUE
echo Today is Tuesday
REM Insert Tuesday commands
goto exit
:WED
echo Today is Wednesday
REM Insert Wednesday commands
goto exit
:THU
echo Today is Thursday
REM Insert Thursday commands
goto exit
:FRI
echo Today is Friday
REM Insert Friday commands
goto exit
:SAT
echo Today is Saturday
REM Insert Saturday commands
goto exit
:exit
NOTE: You may also take advantage of the IF NOT ERRORLEVEL batch file command
to verify what day it is NOT.
See Your DOS manual for further explainations in the use of IF ERRORLEVEL and
GOTO batch file commands.
