 CTODOW()
 Converts the name of the day of the week into a corresponding number
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     CTODOW(<cDayofWeek>) --> nDayofWeek

 Argument

     <cDayofWeek>  Designates a character string that contains the name
     of a day of the week.

 Returns

     CTODOW() returns the number of the day for the day name.

 Description

     Use CTODOW() to change the name of a day of the week to a number.
     Sunday corresponds to 1, Monday 2, etc..  If the function returns a 0
     value, an invalid parameter has been passed.  You can shorten the day
     names, but these abbreviations must be explicit to return an accurate
     value.

 Notes

     .  Uppercase and lowercase letters do not affect the name of the
        day of the week.

     .  The function's operation depends on the country-specific
        adaptation of your CA-Clipper compiler.  With an English version of
        CA-Clipper, only English day names are recognized.

 Examples

     .  What number of the day of the week is Sunday?

        ? CTODOW("Sunday")         // Result:  1
