cdow() works, but it depends on the language of the support library. Better create your own function, using dow() to get the number of the day of the week:
function MyDOW(tdDate)
do case
case dow(tdDate) = 1
return "Sunday"
case dow(tdDate) = 2
return "Monday"
...
case dow(tdDate) = 7
return "Saturday"
otherwise
return "???"
endcase
Note that you can easily adapt this to whatever language is popular in your region.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
