01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

CDow accepts a date and returns its weekday name in English with an uppercase initial. Output does not automatically follow system or page language. A blank or invalid date produces an empty string according to documentation. The example uses SToD to avoid configured date-input formats. Do not translate expected output just because comments are localized. (TOTVS, n.d., ref. 1)
