LOAD_WEEKENDS Procedure

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

Usage

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_WEEKENDS, 'sat'

; Create the !Weekend_List system variable and define Saturday 
; as a weekend.

PRINT, !Weekend_List

0     0     0     0     0     0     1

; Current contents of !Weekend_List system variable.

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

; Manually add Sunday to the weekend list.

LOAD_WEEKENDS

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