Any built-in function to know a date as Holiday

Hi,

Is there any built-in routine or function available, which will say if a selected date is working day or a holiday? Like, i want to make a call by passing the date and it should return if it is a working day or a holiday

Thanks

You can use the api AWD as below:

Y.DATE = '20140420'
CALL AWD('',Y.DATE,Y.VAL)
Y.VAL = 'H'

Similarly if the date is given as 20140421 , the variable Y.VAL will result 'W' as working day.

First parameter is the region to look for in holiday-table, if empty the local region from COMPANY is used.

Response can be H W orN for general error or X for invalid date.

thanks dears!

similar to that, is there any function that takes the date as input and returns the next working day?

got it (from "Subroutine Guide")
