Hi to all,

i have issue with HDAY and Prior business day.
it means if the as of date is 20140102/yyyymmdd
and the holiday is 20140101 so the prior business day should be 20131231. but i am getting 19001231 which is default date instead of 20131231. if as of date is 20140104 and my holiday list is 20140103 then i will get the corect prior business day 20140102. just the issue is with the first of January. my code is as the following
  
-SET &EdaConfPath = FGETENV(7,EDACONF,256,'A256');
-SET &EdaConfPath = TRUNCATE(&EdaConfPath);
-SET &EdaBin = &EdaConfPath |'\bin\';
-RUN

FILEDEF HDAY2000 DISK &&LOCATION|HOLIDAYS.TXT
-RUN
STATE &&LOCATION|HOLIDAYS.TXT
-RUN
-IF &RETCODE NE 0 GOTO NOHOLFIL;
WINNT COPY &&LOCATION|HOLIDAYS.TXT &EdaBin|HDAY2000.ERR
-RUN
SET HDAY = 2000
-RUN
-NOHOLFIL
SET BUSDAYS = _MTWTF_
-RUN

and the defination of Prior business day is:
ASOFDATE/YYMD  = '20140102';
PBD/YYMD       = DATEMOV(ASOFDATE, 'PBD');


how to get the prior business day for the starting year (20131231)?
Thanks,

How is ASOFDATE declared, and how is its value assigned to it?

A somewhat annoying limitation to the Holidays file is that you must have at least on entry for every year that you might check a date against. Otherwise you recieve a Zero value.

This is documented but very east to miss - from the Function Manaul on "specifying Holidays"

quote:
Each year for which data exists must be included. Calling a date function with a date
value outside the range of the holiday file returns a zero for business day requests


Cheers

Stu
