Assuming you have a dated workfile and just want to include the
dummies in a regression you can include at (no spam) expand( at (no spam) weekday) as a
regressor.
If you actually want to create the dummies, then
series D1 = 0
smpl if at (no spam) weekday=1
D1=1
smpl at (no spam) all
series D2 = 0
smpl if at (no spam) weekday=2
D2=1
etc.
