FT_DAYTOBOW
FT_DAYTOBOW()
Calculate no. of days between date and beginning of week
Syntax
FT_DAYTOBOW( [ <dGivenDate> ] ) -> nDays
Arguments
<dGivenDate> is any valid date in any valid date format.
Defaults to current date if not supplied.
Returns
A positive number of days to beginning of week, range 0 to 6.
Description
FT_DAYTOBOW() returns the number of days to the beginning of the
week. Normally this will be one less than the value that
would be returned by the Clipper function DOW(), unless the
day for the beginning of the week has been changed with
FT_DATECNFG().
Examples
dDate := CTOD( "09/15/90" )
? DOW( dDate ) // 7
? CDOW( dDate ) // Saturday
? FT_DAYTOBOW( dDate ) // 6
// change beginning of week to Friday (yeah!)
FT_DATECNFG( , 6 )
? DOW( dDate ) // 7
? CDOW( dDate ) // Saturday
? FT_DAYTOBOW( dDate ) // 1

FT_DAYOFYR
FT_DAYOFYR()
Return calendar, fiscal or accounting day data
Syntax
FT_DAYOFYR( [ <dGivenDate> ], [ <nDayNum> ], [ <lIsAcct> ] )
-> aDateInfo
Arguments
<dGivenDate> is any valid date in any valid format. Defaults
to current system date if not supplied.
<nDayNum> is a number from 1 to 371, signifying a day of a year.
Defaults to current day if not supplied.
<lIsAcct> is a logical which specifies the type of year to base
the return value on: .F. = calendar or fiscal year,
.T. = accounting year.
Returns
A three element array containing the following data:
If <nDayNum> is specified:
aDateInfo[1] - The date of the specified day number
aDateInfo[2] - The beginning date of the year
aDateInfo[3] - The ending date of the year
If <nDayNum> is not specified:
aDateInfo[1] - The year and day as a character string "YYYYDDD"
aDateInfo[2] - The beginning date of the year
aDateInfo[3] - The ending date of the year
Description
FT_DAYOFYR() returns an array containing data about a day in the
calendar or fiscal year containing the given date.
The beginning of year date defaults to January 1st but may be
changed with FT_DATECNFG().
Examples
aDateInfo := FT_DAYOFYR( CTOD("03/31/91") )
? aDateInfo[1] // 1991090 (90th day of year 1991)
? aDateInfo[2] // 01/01/91
? aDateInfo[3] // 12/31/91
aDateInfo := FT_DAYOFYR( , 90 ) // assume current date is 3/31/91
? aDateInfo[1] // 03/31/91 (90th day of year)
? aDateInfo[2] // 01/01/91
? aDateInfo[3] // 12/31/91
aDateInfo := FT_DAYOFYR( , 90, .T. )
? aDateInfo[1] // 03/29/91 (90th day of accounting year)
? aDateInfo[2] // 12/30/90 (1st day of accounting year)
? aDateInfo[3] // 12/28/91 (last day of accounting year)

FT_DATECNFG
FT_DATECNFG()
Set beginning of year/week for FT_ date functions
Syntax
FT_DATECNFG( [ <cFYStart> ], [ <nDow> ] ) -> aDateInfo
Arguments
<cFYStart> is a character date string in the user's system date
format, i.e., the same as the user would enter for CTOD(). If
this argument is NIL, the current value is unchanged.
Note: The year portion of the date string must be present and
be a valid year; however, it has no real meaning.
<nDow> is a number from 1 to 7 (1 = Sunday) indicating the
desired start of a work week. If this argument is NIL,
the current value is unchanged.
Returns
A 2-element array containing the following information:
aDateInfo[1] - an ANSI date string indicating the beginning
date of the year. Only the month and day are
meaningful.
aDateInfo[2] - the number of the first day of the week
(1 = Sunday)
Description
FT_DATECNFG() is called internally by many of the date functions
in the library to determine the beginning of year date and
beginning of week day.
The default beginning of the year is January 1st and the default
beginning of the week is Sunday (day 1). Either or both of these
settings may be changed by calling FT_DATECNFG() with the proper
arguments. They will retain their values for the duration of the
program or until they are changed again by a subsequent call to
FT_DATECNFG().
It is not necessary to call FT_DATECNFG() unless you need to
change the defaults.
FT_DATECNFG() affects the following library functions:
FT_WEEK() FT_ACCTWEEK() FT_DAYTOBOW()
FT_MONTH() FT_ACCTMONTH() FT_DAYOFYR()
FT_QTR() FT_ACCTQTR() FT_ACCTADJ()
FT_YEAR() FT_ACCTYEAR()
Examples
// Configure library date functions to begin year on
// July 1st.
FT_DATECNFG("07/01/80") // year is insignificant
// Examples of return values:
// System date format: American aArray[1] aArray[2]
aArray := FT_DATECNFG() // '1980.01.01' 1 (Sun.)
aArray := FT_DATECNFG('07/01/80') // '1980.07.01' 1 (Sun.)
aArray := FT_DATECNFG('07/01/80', 2) // '1980.07.01' 2 (Mon.)
aArray := FT_DATECNFG( , 2 ) // '1980.01.01' 2 (Mon.)
// System date format: British
aArray := FT_DATECNFG('01/07/80', 2) // '1980.07.01' 2 (Mon.)

FT_CALENDAR
FT_CALENDAR()
Display date/time calendar, find a date, return calendar data.
Syntax
FT_CALENDAR ( [ <nRow> ], [ <nCol> ], [ <cColor> ], [ <lShadow> ] ,
[ <lShowHelp> ] ) -> aRetVal
Arguments
<nRow> is an optional screen row for calendar display,
default row 1.
<nCol> is an optional screen col for calendar display,
default col 63.
<cColor> is an optional color string for displayed messages,
default is bright white text over green background.
<lShadow> is an optional logical variable. If true (.T.),
it uses FT_SHADOW() to add a transparent shadow
to the display, default (.F.).
<lShowHelp> is an optional logical variable. If true, uses
FT_XBOX to display a four line help message
if the F1 key is pressed, default (.F.).
Returns
aRetVal is an 8 element array containing date, month, day, year,
month (in character format), day of the week, julian day
and current time.
Description
FT_CALENDAR() simply displays today's date, time and julian
day in a two line display with an optional box shadow. Cursor keys may
be used to page through the calendar by day, week, month or year
increments. Returns an 8 element array of calendar data:
Element Value
[1] Date in current date format.
[2] Numeric month number.
[3] Numeric day number.
[4] Numeric year number.
[5] Month in character format.
[6] Day of the week in character format.

[8] Current time in time format.
WARNING: FT_CALENDAR uses FT_SHADOW and FT_XBOX
from the Nanforum Toolkit!
Examples

FT_ADDWKDY
FT_ADDWKDY()
Return true number of days to add given number of workdays
Syntax
FT_ADDWKDY( <dStart>, <nWorkDays> ) -> nTrueDays
Arguments
<dStart> = date to start adding from
<nWorkDays> = number of workdays to add
Returns
<nTrueDays> = Number of actual days to add to <dStart> in
order to add the required <nWorkDays>
Description
Let's say you are given the problem:
"All invoices are due 10 working days from the date they
are printed. Please display the due date on the invoice."
When is the due date? Assuming you are printing the invoices
today, your answer is:
dDueDate := DATE() + ft_addWkDay( DATE(), 10 )
A work day is defined as Monday through Friday. Unfortunately
this routine does _not_ account for holidays.
This documentation was written by Glenn Scott so if it's wrong,
blame him.
Examples
// Postdate 5 working days from the first of January
dPost := CTOD("01/01/91")
dPost += FT_ADDWKDY( dPost, 5 ) // returns 7 true days
? dPost // 01/08/91
