Radu,
With variables for month, day (for day-of-month), and year, I get
day of week in variable dow with
.gen dow = dow( mdy( month, day, year) )
and this gives 0=Sunday,...,6=Saturday.
You said you have date, month, and year, and if date is in string form,
you can unpack it with datefcn.
For more date information, start with .help dates.
