Error in Weekday() function

Hi there,

I am trying to use the weekday function but I am having some error. If someone could help me out here that would be great! Thanks.

I am doing a simple:

weekday=weekday(occurred_at) but keep getting errors. Not sure why.

Below is the result from proc contents:

6 occurred_at Num 8 DATETIME. DATETIME.

According to the doc

the WEEKDAY function expects a date, rather than a datetime. Try this:

weekday = weekday(datepart(occurred_at));

Thank you, Rick!
