Calendar?</b></font>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Most companies in the USA do not recognise Easter
as a work holiday.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>The question about US holidays is a bit vague in the
sense that it depends<br>
on the state and the business's rules. For example in Illinois Pulaski
Day<br>
is a holiday but Columbus Day is not. Another is that Government and banks<br>
have MLK and Presidents Day as a non-business day but other private<br>
enterprise does not.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>The only holidays that are recognised by almost all
companies and all<br>
states are:<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>New Year's Day - Jan 1<br>
Memorial Day - last Monday in May<br>
Independence Day - July 4<br>
Labor Day - last Monday in September<br>
Thanksgiving - 4th Thursday in November<br>
Christmas Day - December 25<br>

Hi,<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>I was interested in the US holiday Calendar and therefore
have collected<br>
the following information.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>Holiday Calendar<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>New Years - 1st Jan<br>
Martin Luther King Jr. - 3rd Monday of January<br>
Presidents Day - 3rd Monday of the February<br>
</tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Memorial Day - Last Monday in May<br>
Independence Day - 4th July<br>
Labor Day - Last Monday of May<br>
Columbus Day - 2nd Monday of October<br>
Veterans Day - November 11<br>
Good Friday -<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>I got the following from http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/nature1876.html<br>
The actual origin of this algorithm appears to be by an anonymous<br>
correspondent from New York to Nature in 1876 (Thanks Denis!). Samuel<br>
Butcher, Bishop of Meath, showed that this algorithm followed from<br>
Delambre's analytical solutions, and produces the date of Easter for all<br>
years. You can see the algorithm, as well as version for Orthodox Easter<br>
at another Easter Date site.<br>
This algorithm appears in Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator, 2nd<br>
Edition by Peter Duffett-Smith, and he obtained this algorithm from<br>
Butcher's Ecclesiastical Calendar, published in 1876. This algorithm has<br>
also been published in the 1922 book General Astronomy by Spencer Jones;<br>
in The Journal of the British Astronomical Association (Vol.88, page 91,<br>
December 1977); and in Astronomical Algorithms (1991) by Jean Meeus.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>This algorithm holds for any year in the Gregorian
Calendar, which (of<br>
course) means years including and after 1583.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>In the text below, / represents an integer division
neglecting the<br>
remainder,<br>
while % is division keeping only the remainder. So 30/7=4 , and 30%7=2
..<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>a=year%19<br>
b=year/100<br>
c=year%100<br>
d=b/4<br>
e=b%4<br>
f=(b+8)/25<br>
g=(b-f+1)/3<br>
h=(19*a+b-d-g+15)%30<br>
i=c/4<br>
k=c%4<br>
l=(32+2*e+2*i-h-k)%7<br>
m=(a+11*h+22*l)/451<br>
Easter Month =(h+l-7*m+114)/31 [3=March, 4=April]<br>
p=(h+l-7*m+114)%31<br>
Easter Date=p+1 (date in Easter Month)</tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>I suppose from here, you can code your holidays for
a year etc.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>Only thing I will say (Probably you already know)
is that within HP<br>
powerhouse, you get a day of the week by doing the mod(day(sysdate),7),<br>
which would give you numbers from 0 to 6, where zero is a Sunday.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>I hope this helps.<br>
