System Menu (page 215).
S To set the year, month, date, and day of the week in numeral memory tables 254
and 255, the memory table copy function must be used (pages 511 and 516).

the same time as they are used to display the day of the week.
(1) Copy the contents of numeral memory table 253 to a number that can be
allocated to a PC word by using the memory table copy function.
(2) To achieve correspondence between the numbers of the character string
memory tables that store "Sun" to "Sat" and the contents of numeral
memory table No. 253 (0 to 6), add a constant.
(3) Display the day of the week indirectly by following the example above.
Example: Storing "Sun" to "Sat" in character string memory tables No. 200 to
206.
