Generate the day of the week, as a string, in short and long formats

The functions, WEEKDAY_STRING_SHORT and WEEKDAY_STRING, generate the day of the week, as a string, in short and long formats, respectively. The strings that are returned are always in English. The prefix used with these functions must return the day of the week in integer format and the acceptable range for the value returned by the prefix is 0-6. Therefore, you can use any prefix that returns an integer in the acceptable range. An UNDEF condition is raised if the returned value is not in this range or if memory allocation fails.

Following are the descriptions of the functions:

Function Description
.WEEKDAY_STRING_SHORT Returns the day of the week in short format. The short form is always 3 characters long with an initial capital and the remaining characters in lower case. For example, SYS.TIME.WEEKDAY.WEEKDAY_STRING_SHORT returns Sun if the value returned by the WEEKDAY function is 0 and Sat if the value returned by the prefix is 6.
.WEEKDAY_STRING Returns the day of the week in long format. The long form always has an initial capital, with the remaining characters in lower case. For example, SYS.TIME.WEEKDAY.WEEKDAY_STRING returns Sunday if the value returned by the WEEKDAY function is 0 and Saturday if the value returned by the prefix is 6.
