Defining a calendar

Calendar members define company holidays and other non-working days in the calendar year.

SMCALSxx is the calendar definition parameter member. MainView SRM reads it during system startup. The suffix that is specified in SMMSYSxx indicates which version of SMCALSxx the active MainView SRM configuration should use. SMCALSxx is an optional member.

Using the SMCALSxx member

You use SET statements to define calendar years. INC statements following the SET statement identify the non-working days to be included. SMCALSxx parameters identify non-working days that are not to be considered as usage days by DFSMShsm. SMCALSxx offers much more flexibility in defining non-working days than DFSMShsm does.

Note

Any day not specified in SMCALSxx is a working day.

The following table provides a quick reference to the SET statement calendar parameter.

For more information, see the Reference-for-MainView-SRM-products.
