    Also note that the days of week repeat every seven days, so you don't have to iterate every single day in the period.

    Hi,

    If you have work calendar setup on your machine then you can use the below code. Alternatively, you can make use of dayOfWk as below.

    static void WeekDays(Args _args)
{
    WorkCalendarSched   workCalendarSched;
    counter             workingdays;
    counter             totaldays;
    Counter             weekEndDays;
    CalendarId          primCalendar = "XYZ";
    date                start;
    date                end;
    ;

    start = mkDate(1,9,2017);
    end   = mkDate(12,9,2017);

    workCalendarSched = new workCalendarSched();

    // Work calendar schedule    
    while(start <= end)
    {
        totaldays++;

        if(workCalendarSched.isdateopen(primCalendar, start) == true)
        {
            workingdays++;
        }
        start++;
    }
   
    info(strfmt("Total days: : %1",totaldays));
    info(strfmt("Total working days: : %1", workingdays));
    info(strfmt("WeekEnd days: : %1",(totaldays - workingdays)));
    
    // Use of dayOfWk
    while(start <= end)
    {
        if (dayOfWk(start) == 6 || dayOfWk(start) == 7)
            weekEndDays++;
        start++;
    }

    info(strfmt("WeekEnd days: : %1",weekEndDays));
}
