no no... actually it should give ... whether it is monday or tuesday or wed......

suppose if I give, 23-09-2008, it should give tuesday...


For Linux I am using the following :

CHKDT=`date -d $LIMGDT +%a`

however hp unix it is not working....

That is not what date does or is for in unix (non standard...) have you checked it works on other platforms? (I just done AIX and SOLARIS...) look at the man pages...

You are looking for a feature that comes in GNU Date which is what you are using in Linux. You can get it from the HP-UX Porting Centre in the GNU Core Utils depot.
