When you want to get name of day by using date in ABAP/4, you can apply function module "DATE_TO_DAY".

Check this sample


*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&     Form get_name_of_day
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM get_name_of_day USING   PAR_DATUM
                    CHANGING PAR_DAY_NAME.
clear par_day_name.
CALL FUNCTION ’DATE_TO_DAY’
   EXPORTING
     DATE         = par_datum
   IMPORTING
     WEEKDAY      = par_day_name
           .

ENDFORM.                   " get_name_of_day

Hi,

We can use FM DATE_TO_DAY or DATE_COMPUTE_DAY(Pro grammatically)

Sample code:

clear: hold_day_of_week.

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_COMPUTE_DAY'

EXPORTING

DATE = workdate

IMPORTING

DAY = day_of_week_num

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 8.

CASE day_of_week_num.

WHEN 1.

hold_day_of_week = 'Monday'.

WHEN 2.

hold_day_of_week = 'Tuesday'.

WHEN 3.

hold_day_of_week = 'Wednesday'.

WHEN 4.

hold_day_of_week = 'Thursday'.

WHEN 5.

hold_day_of_week = 'Friday'.

WHEN 6.

hold_day_of_week = 'Saturday'.

WHEN 7.

hold_day_of_week = 'Sunday'.

WHEN OTHERS.

hold_day_of_week = 'invalid'.

ENDCASE.

You can use DATE_COMPUTE_DAY to get the day number of the week (for example, today gives 5)

then use WEEKDAY_GET which returns an itab with seven entries (one for each day of the week.)

You enter in this itab and get the field langt to get the day name.

Reward if helpful.
