LOAD_WEEKENDS Procedure
Makes the value of the !Weekend_List system variable available to the date/time routines.
Usage
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.
