the Islamic calendar
the Hebrew calendar
the Chinese agricultural calendar
or any calendar you want?
or conduct analyses of, or based on, dates from:
e.g., to be able to analyze effects thatare functions of annual sporting event schedules?
Step 1: Create interval datasetsdata fyds fqds fmds;
do begin= '06APR1900'd to '05APR2100'd;if day(begin) eq 6 then do;
mbeg=month(begin);season=max(mbeg-3,(mbeg<4)*(mbeg+9));end=intnx('month', begin, 1, 'same')-1; output fmds;if mbeg eq 4 then do;
season=year(begin);end=intnx('year', begin, 1, 'same')-1; output fyds;
end;if mbeg in (4,7,10,1) then do;
season=max(round(mbeg/4,1),(mbeg<4)*4);end=intnx('month', begin, 3, 'same')-1; output fqds;
end;end;
end;format begin end date.;
run;
Step 2: Apply the intervalds System Option
options intervalds=(FiscalQuarter=FQDS FiscalMonth=FMDS FiscalYear=FYDS);
Step 3: Use any desired interval function(s)data want (keep=date fiscal:);
set sashelp.pricedata (obs=12);format date date9.;fiscal_year=intindex( 'FiscalYear', date );fiscal_qtr=intindex( 'FiscalQuarter', date );fiscal_month=intindex( 'FiscalMonth', date );next_year_start=intnx('FiscalYear',date,1,'b');next_year_middle=intnx('FiscalYear',date,1,'m');next_year_end=intnx('FiscalYear',date,1,'e');format date next: date9.;
run;/*Note: You can also use other interval functions*/
which will produce:
fiscal fiscal fiscal_ next_year next_year next_year date _year _qtr month _start _middle _end

hardest part is creating the interval datasetsour paper includes code that creates datasets for:
the datasets can be transferred to Google Calendar with the code in Bill Roehl’s paper, Using SAS® to Get a Date: Integrating Google Calendar’s API with SAS®
www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Sometimes_One_Needs_an_Option_with_Unusual_Dates
All of the code and this Powerpoint can be found at:
create functions using PROC FCMP
import data from web sites
create and use INTERVALDS datasets
The code includes examples of how to:
automatically create formats from data files
use the hash method to create lookup tables
create and send holiday email greetings
write an expanded/localized Holiday function
