Use standard DOW() FlagShip function. Here a short example:

 dCurr := date()          // current date
 dEoW  := dCurr -1        // start date = yesterday
 while dow(dEoW) != 7     // find previous end-of-week = Saturday
   dEoW --
 enddo
 dMonday := dEoW -5       // Saturday back to Monday
 ? "Today is",dCurr, "Saturday of last week was the",dEoW, "and Monday of last week was the",dMonday
 wait

Hope this helps you.
