st: data management - days into weeks

Hello all,
In my data set I have "day", a variable that indicates the day of treatment of a patient. Example:
Patient=1
Day=5
Outcome x1=6
Outcome x2=0.5
Day=10
Outcome x1=5
Outcome x2=0.6
I would like to create a variable "week", where week=1 if day<=7; week=2 if 7<day<=14 and so on.
Any suggestion about how to create "week" without my having to write the conditions for each week of the year up to week 52?
The date functions do not help me because my data set does not contain 'dates'.
Thanks,
Maria Cecilia
