How can I define an extended calendar where the generated dates are the last working day of each month minus x working days?
Release:
Component: ATSYS
This type of extended calendar can be accomplished by using the "WORKDMnn" date condition keyword. This keyword specifies that the schedule that is generated by the extended calendar includes the nnth workday of the month, counting backwards. With this keyword, the last workday of the month is considered workday #01 instead of the first workday of the month.
Here is an example of it being used in a definition where the goal was to have dates that are the last working day of the month minus 3 days. Since nn=01 for the last working day of the month using this keyword, nn=04 would be the last working day of the month minus 3 days...
