words = WordCount ( field );


today = GetAsDate(Get(CurrentDate));

tomorrow = today+1;

yesterday = today -1;



thisday= DayOfWeek(today); 


NextDayNum= Case(

v_right = "Sunday";1;

v_right = "monday";2;

v_right = "tuesday";3;

v_right = "wednesday";4;

v_right = "thursday";5;

v_right = "friday";6;

v_right = "saturday";7);


LastDayNum= Case(

v_right = "Sunday";7;

v_right = "monday";6;

v_right = "tuesday";5;

v_right = "wednesday";4;

v_right = "thursday";3;

v_right = "friday";2;

v_right = "saturday";1);


weekday = Case(NextDayNum  ? 1 and NextDayNum  ? 7;1);
