LOAD_WEEKENDS

Parameters

None.

Keywords

None.

Discussion

Run this procedure after you:

Restore any PV-WAVE session in which you used the CREATE_WEEKENDS function. Running this procedure makes the restored !Weekend_List system variable available to the date/time routines.

Directly change the value of the !Weekend_List system variable, instead of using the CREATE_WEEKENDS procedure.

This procedure is called by the CREATE_WEEKENDS function. Thus, CREATE_WEEKENDS both creates weekends and makes them available to the date/time routines.

note	If all weekdays have been defined as weekend days, an error results.

Example

; Create the !Weekend_List system variable and define

; Saturday as a weekend.

CREATE_WEEKENDS, 'sat'

PRINT, !Weekend_List

; PV-WAVE prints: 0   0   0   0   0   0   1

; Manually add Sunday to the weekend list.

!Weekend_List = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]

; Run LOAD_WEEKENDS so the new weekend value will take effect.
