Hi all,
Some say the first day of the week is Sunday (Mainly in US & Canada), other say the first day of the week is Monday
So how is it defined in IFS, what the #First Day of Next Week# is?
Answer
Substitution Variable - what dictates the start of a week?

Thanks Anmise,
Is it possible to update this? Per ISO8601, first day is the week is Monday.

Where are you using it? In the client I believe it’s converted to match your browser locale e.g. if I’m searching with my browser set to Denmark, and I use #NEXT_WEEK# I will get
(Created ge 2022-11-28T00:00:00Z and Created le 2022-12-04T23:59:59Z)
If I change it to US, then I get
(Created ge 2022-11-27T00:00:00Z and Created le 2022-12-03T23:59:59Z)
In the database it’s calculated this way TRUNC(SYSDATE)-TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'D'))+1+7, which gives Sunday.

Didn't know so just tested by practical example 😉. You are correct! Also makes sense as they are Context variables so they take into account the….. context.
Thanks Anmise,
We are using this in the Scheduled Database task to run the Supplier Payment Proposals. Will play a bit further to see behaviour accordingly in regards to manual generating a Proposal, or a scheduled proposal.
