Hi William,  

I've tried your solution plus the code below but im getting an issue
somewhere. Im running the script in batch mode and it will use the
control file for the dates but id fail to see that being the issue. It
could be the sum code throwing the error but i dont even get an error
code up, it just runs one image and cuts off, much like it would for a
missing apostrophe. Headache of all headaches this one he he.  

day=substr(fdate,4,2)
mon=substr(fdate,6,3)
yy=substr(fdate,9,4)
year=yy-2000
j=year/100 

if (mon = 'DEC') ; mm = 12 ; endif 

if (mon = 'JAN')
mm = 13
year=yy-2000-1
j=year/100
endif 

if (mon = 'FEB')
mm = 14
year=yy-2000-1
j=year/100
endif 

if (mon = 'MAR') ; mm = 3 ; endif
if (mon = 'APR') ; mm = 4 ; endif
if (mon = 'MAY') ; mm = 5 ; endif
if (mon = 'JUN') ; mm = 6 ; endif
if (mon = 'JUL') ; mm = 7 ; endif
if (mon = 'AUG') ; mm = 8 ; endif
if (mon = 'SEP') ; mm = 9 ; endif
if (mon = 'OCT') ; mm = 10 ; endif
if (mon = 'NOV') ; mm = 11 ; endif 

h = day + (13*(mm+1))/5 + year + year/4 + j/4 - 2*j
hmod = math_mod(h,7)
hint = math_int(hmod) 

if (hint = 0) ; weekday = 'Sat' ; endif
if (hint = 1) ; weekday = 'Sun' ; endif
if (hint = 2) ; weekday = 'Mon' ; endif
if (hint = 3) ; weekday = 'Tue' ; endif
if (hint = 4) ; weekday = 'Wed' ; endif
if (hint = 5) ; weekday = 'Thu' ; endif
if (hint = 6) ; weekday = 'Fri' ; endif 

say day' 'mm' 'h' 'hmod' 'hint
say weekday' 'fdate 

'set strsiz 0.12'
'set string 1 r 5 0' ; 'draw string 2.64 8.2 ECMWF Sea Level Pressure'
'draw string 2.00 7.8 Run: 'huh 
'draw string 5.18 7.8 - - Valid: weekday' 'fdate

I know there is a work around with some of you implementing Zeller's congruence but alas I have no idea how to code or where to code it to.
