This is the RPGIII source code to calculate the day of the week, using Zeller's Congruence formula:

Wow, 2006 and still using RPGIII! Though I'm guessing from the last comment line that there was some thought given to making it an RPGIV procedure
Haha, yes the shop I was consulting in needed RPGIII day of the week.
Originally we called an RPG IV program and did the CEExxxx thing. But then I found Zeller's formula and wanted to convert it to RPG. Since we don't really need it in RPG IV (at the time) I thought why not write it in RPGIII for the poor old bastards using III. Hence the subroutine.
Turns out to be one of my more widely-used routines (sadly). I'm archiving it here for future googler's or whatever displaces google, to find it.
