Tank you

There were many articles discussed in this forum about the date calculation, please search this forum for date and you will get the answer

sorry
But I don't understand verry well english
if u can help me tank you

Sure thing mate. Here is an all purpose script that was written by Perderabo. It has a option '-D' that will give you the day on that particular date. Just have to supply a four digit year (2006 and not 06). Check the script for further help.

Tank you
I'll try this with my AIX 2.3
Sorry for language
