Post JAL Macro Parameters Usage (Error?) Reply with quote
Hello,
I am trying to use the macro parameters to gather the last business date to use in a script (JAL).
In the past, using @DL I would get directly the last business date.
Now, when I am using @DL, I am getting the last calendar date.

I was expecting on a Monday, using @DL to get Friday's date. Instead I am getting Sunday's date.

Any suggestions?

What does JAL IsHoliday function return on that system for last Sunday? Or does it return an error?

Dim ret, boolean
IsHoliday "2014-09-28", ret
MessageBox ret

Any updates on this?
This item is not isolated to one server. We have two different instances installed in two different servers and both of them present the same behavior.

No updates yet. We were able to reproduce the issue but the root cause is yet unknown. Some kind of weird anomaly.

As a workaround, please use for now

Code:
Dim d, date, "@T"yyyy-mm-dd""
Dim b, boolean
IsWeekEnd d, b
LoopWhile b, EndLoop
   DateAdd d, -1, d
   IsWeekEnd d, b
EndLoop:

MessageBox d

Thanks for the work around.
What is the ETA for a permanent solution?
We have about 50 jobs that use the @DL keyword, so implementing the workaround on each one of them would be time consumming.

The "IsHoliday" statement does not work.
It returns false for all holidays that exists in the calendar. (I added the same date to all calendars, not only to the one that was assigned to the job).
Any workaround to verify the holiday???
