As mentioned by Horst there is no standard library, but you can create your own reuse function

Hello Alessandro and Horst,

I am at least now clear that I would not have to utilize my time finding the standard functionality. 

I will surely try to create own Reuse functionality for this but I will need your expertise on this. Can you please elaborate more so that I can understand how this can be achieved.

Appreciate your quick help.

Thanks,

Chandan

1) Create a reuse function that have in import the date and returns a string

2) in the reuse function start with:

var day = this.date.GetDay();

var month = this.date.GetMonth();

var year = this.date.GetYear();

3)

[implement the algorithm that you can find here Determination of the day of the week - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in the section A Tabular method to calculate the day of the week)

case dayoftheweek

1: return "Monday"

2: return "Tuesday"

etc. etc.

Hello Chandan,

I had a quick look into the ABAP coding for the Reuse Library "Date".

It took me only less time to ad a new function "GetWeekday" to this library.

It will come with the next release 1508.

Your expertise to improvise this will motivate me to learn more.

Thanks once again.

Good job

Hello Chandan,

Sorry, but there ios no function in the reuse library for Dat efor this.

Especially as the language would play a vital role in the translation.

Sorry,
