%dd% specs

Could I put something like "if %dd%==monday goto :MONDAY" or would it be different?

I just checked for you:

?"if %dd%==monday goto :MONDAY"="if %dd%==monday goto :MONDAY"
True

They are the same. Of course really I have no idea what your talking about or what %dd% is. Also you don't need to use the Colon in a goto, just for the label.

Isn't %dd% to get the day? I've used that before.
