Calculate Business Day

[H1004]

I have a problem calculating business day because it is short on one day:

For example:
TODAYDATE/WYYMD=&BEG;
DIFF/I8=DATEDIF(TODAYDATE, ENDDATE, 'BD');

Suppose TODAYDATE = 20041211 (Saturday)
ENDDATE = 20041218 (Saturday)
The diff will come out as 4; however, I wanted to come out as 5. The answer 5 will give me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
I understand why it is giving me 4 because
20041217(Friday) - 20041213(Monday) = 4 days

Is there a code that work around this problem in order for me to get an answer of 5.
Thank you,

I tried using the the method where if the enddate is on a weekday, then I'll increment the result to 1, but if it lands on a Saturday or Sunday, then I'll leave it alone. However, I tried using the following function to determine the weekday, but it is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong?

ENDDATE/WYYMD=REQUESTED_DATE;
TODAYDATE/WYYMD=&BEG;
DIFF/I8=DATEDIF(TODAYDATE, ENDDATE, 'BD');
DAYIND/A12= DOWKL(ENDDATE, DAYIND);

Actually, I try the following code, and it displays the day of the week now instead of blank, but the data is wrong...It seems to always be a day ahead. So instead of Friday, it would have a result of Saturday. Here is my code:

ENDDATE/I6YMD = REQUESTED_DATE;
DAYOW/A3 = DOWK(ENDDATE,DAYOW);

Any reason why??

How have you SET BUSDAYS?

What release are you running? I tried the following in releases 4.2.1 through 5.3:

-SET &BEG = '20041211'; 
-SET &ENDDATE = '20041218';
DEFINE FILE CAR
TODAYDATE/WYYMD WITH COUNTRY='&BEG';
ENDDATE/YYMD WITH COUNTRY= '&ENDDATE';
DIFF/I8 WITH COUNTRY=DATEDIF(TODAYDATE, ENDDATE, 'BD');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT TODAYDATE ENDDATE DIFF 
IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
END

and got the following:

 TODAYDATE        ENDDATE         DIFF
 ---------        -------         ----
 SAT, 2004/12/11  2004/12/18         5
