....DEHL/IXIY same AFBC..../.... differentNotes:
For the "day of the week" parameter, 1 represents Monday, 2 Tuesday, etc. If you supply zero the routine will work out the day name for you. An invalid date error does not return an error code, just Fc=1. A date is invalid if inconsistent, eg. you say it is Monday when it should be Tuesday, or if a parameter is out of range.Bugs:
