Hi,

Can any one suggest me,

for example If you run the job on Monday it will give coming Wednesday date, or if run the Same job after 4 days, on Friday it will print next week Wednesday Date.

Thanks in advance.

You can do some math here, like

int dayOfWeek = dayOfWk(mkDate(07,11,2015));

info (strfmt("%1", mkDate(07,11,2015) + (7 - dayOfWeek - 4 + (dayOfWeek > 3 ? 7 : 0))));

Thank you Krathi,

My question is not exactly 4 days later, when ever you run job, it will print next Wednesday date.

In Detail my question

How to print next Friday date from job, if you run the job on Monday it Will print coming Friday date , or if you run the job on Thursday it Will print next day(Friday) date, if you run the job Saturday it will print next week Friday date …, I thought, it is clear my question ?

Thank you for valuable answer Kranthi.

I would do something like this:

daysToAdd = (dayOfWeek - targetDayOfWeek) mod 7;
newDate = origDate + daysToAdd;

I could have simplified it,

(3 - dayOfWeek + (dayOfWeek > 3 ? 7 : 0))

I am not adding 3 or 4 days here, 3 here is the Wednesday (3rd day in the week)

If you want Friday, replace it with 5
