CALL 42: Set Day of the Week
In the 1746-BAS and 1771-DB, the internal calendar had no intelligence. CALL
42 would actually set the calendar day of week to any day the programmer
suggested. However, the MVI56-BAS uses the DOS calendar. The DOS
calendar has enough intelligence to calculate the proper day of week from the
date. So, CALL 42 actually does nothing.
Syntax:
PUSH [A]
CALL 42
Where:
A = day of the week (1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday, 4 = Wednesday, 5 =
Thursday, 6 = Friday, 7 = Saturday)
Example:
Ready
>list
10 STRING 100, 30
20 REM Set time to 10:30:00
30 PUSH 10, 30, 0: CALL 40
40 REM Set date to Jan. 23, 2003
50 PUSH 23, 1, 3: CALL 41
60 REM Set Day of Week to Monday
70 PUSH 2: CALL 42
80 REM Print Day of Week
90 PUSH 1: CALL 47
100 PRINT $ ( 1)
