Display day of week in text format - Mon, Tue, Wed ect

[Phil Merry]

please see my attempt

What am I missing

input1 = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
Input.SetText("Input1", input1);
input2 = System.GetDate(1);
Input.SetText("Input2", input2);
input3 = System.GetDate(7);

input4 = (input3-1)

Input.SetText("Input3", input4);

Page.StartTimer(1000, 10);

Try this:

input1 = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
Input.SetText("Input1", input1);
input2 = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_EUROPE);
Input.SetText("Input2", input2);
tWeekdays = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" };
input4 = tWeekdays[tonumber(System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_DAYOFWEEK))];
Input.SetText("Input3", input4);

Or, you can just use native Lua (which IMO is a little cleaner):

sTime = os.date("%X");
sDate = os.date("%x");
sDay = os.date("%A");

Input.SetText("Input1", sTime);
Input.SetText("Input2", sDate);
Input.SetText("Input3", sDay);

And here's a list of native Lua time/date tags (to manipulate outcomes):
