HOLIDUR variable;

variable

contains the duration of each holiday.

Range:	The duration can be a real or integral value.
Restriction:	This variable must be in the holidays data set.
Featured in:	Multiple Schedule Calendars with Atypical Work Shifts (Separated Output) and Multiple Summary Calendars with Atypical Work Shifts (Separated Output)

If you use both the HOLIFIN and HOLIDUR statements, then PROC CALENDAR uses the HOLIFIN variable value to define each holiday's duration.
Set the unit of the holiday duration variable in the same way that you set the unit of the duration variable; use either the INTERVAL= and DAYLENGTH= options or the CALEDATA= data set.
Duration is measured inclusively from the start of the holiday (as given in the HOLISTART variable). In the output, any holiday lasting at least half a day appears as lasting a full day.
