See items (7) and (6) in http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html It seems to me that it really isn't. Great solution would be for the function to use your locale to figure out where the weekend is, and use that by default. At the moment, it seems that you are steering people toward a function that return the wrong value, as the alternative, even if it's right next to the original in the function list, will dump on the writer of the equation the burden of figuring out what the local weekend is (which, if they are in America or Europe, they will probably prefer not to know). Not so great as far as I can tell. Shachar ___ Discussions mailing list Discussions@hamakor.org.il http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discussions
Re: No more Friday+Saturday weekends for Israel!
Yes, Israel changed the vote to YES, after the BRM. As for the date issue: was addressed. I can post the version that I have if you want, but full version will soon be available on ISO site, and I guess you want the bottom line, so here goes: 1) New function will be added: NETWORKDAYS.INTL ( start-date , end-date [ , [ weekend][ , holidays ]] ) 2) Previous function will remain, but declared deprecated (imlementations encouraged to promote new version). 3) Weekend is either a numeric code (1-17, with 7 meaning Friday+Saturday) or string acting as a binary mask. Default is indeed saturday+sunday, and not based on locale. Maybe not optimal, but it is the same as in OpenFormula (which also has the binary mask thing). http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=office-formula (also, I believe current version of OOo Calc does not have the weekend option at all).

Re: No more Friday+Saturday weekends for Israel!
I ment just the text describing the new net-workdays function from the resolution (figured there should be no problem with that - but of course this needs to be checked). As for the full text, I believe the september draft is practically the same as ECMA-376 (i.e. without the recent changes), which is available free-of-charge here: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm I do not have a merged full document (in fact, documents, since it is going to be split into a multi-part standard). I do hope that TC45 will put some kind of merged draft free-of-charge on their public site as soon as possible (but I do not think it is mandated by any rule. I know many ISO standards are available for charge only). You can ask about specific issues, and I'll try to answer. To calm you down a bit, I'll say that IMO, one of the most important changes was the decision to deprecate a lot of the problematic issues - they will be removed from the main text into a separate part as transitional migration features - this includes VML and also the obscure behaviors specific to some office applications. Note that this is *in addition* to providing the missing documentation for all items that were reported to date (e.g. useWord97LineBreakRules and the likes). aa On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 7:29 PM, Shai Berger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Amit, On Wednesday 02 April 2008, Amit Aronovitch wrote: I can post the version that I have if you want, but full version will soon be available on ISO site, and I guess you want the bottom line, I know I want the full version posted (I'm not sure I'm going to do much about it myself, but having it available will make the chill down my spine a little less disturbing).
