What does 'Dy' return in date formats?

The 'Dy' date format in NetSuite is designed to return the abbreviated capitalized name of the day. This means that when you use 'Dy', it will produce output such as 'Mon' for Monday or 'Tue' for Tuesday. This format is particularly useful in reports and documents where a concise representation of the weekday is needed.

Using 'Dy' allows users to quickly reference the day of the week without displaying the full name, thus saving space. The capitalization standard followed by this format is that the first letter is capitalized, and the remaining letters are in lowercase. This makes it visually distinct while ensuring it is easy to read and recognize.

Other options might suggest different output formats that do not match what 'Dy' actually provides, such as representing the full name of the day or returning a number corresponding to the day of the week. However, 'Dy' specifically emphasizes the abbreviation and capitalization style mentioned.
