If your version on unix supports it, this might work for you. I'm unsure of what you are wanting to do with the data_date-1.. are you trying to go one day back? So if it's Sunday it would be Saturday and Monday it would be Sunday??:
Code:
data_date_day=`date -d "$data_date" | cut -d " " -f 1`
if [ $data_date_day = "Sun" -o $data_date_day = "Mon" ];then
   file_date=whatever
else
   file_date=whatever
fi
