The Projman Application

Import Holiday Data Set Window

This window enables you to import a SAS data set that contains holiday information. Projman assumes that the selected data set is in the format appropriate for input to the CPM or PM procedure. For more information, see the section HOLIDATA Data Set.

When you select the data set that you want to import, you must identify certain variables within that data set. Projman attempts to recognize the variables by searching for some standard names; however, it is likely that you will need to select the required variables. When all the necessary selections have been made and the holiday data set is imported, the appropriate holidays are created.

For a description of standard import options, see the section "Standard Import Options".

Name

The Name variable should contain values that represent a short name for each holiday. This variable can be either character or numeric.

Description

The Description variable normally contains values that provide more detailed information (that is, longer name) about the holiday. This variable can be either character or numeric.

Calendar

The Calendar variable should contain values that represent the name of the calendar to which the holiday belongs. Projman assumes that the calendars already exist. If they do not, after the import, you can create the calendars or import a calendar data set. This variable can be either character or numeric.

Start

The Start variable should contain values that indicate the start date of each holiday. This variable must be numeric, and it is required.

Finish

The Finish variable should contain values that indicate the finish date of each holiday. This variable must be numeric. This variable is optional; however, if the Duration variable is not specified, Projman assumes that each holiday is to last one duration unit.

Duration

The Duration variable should contain values that indicate the length of each holiday. This variable must be numeric. This variable is optional; however, if the Finish variable is not specified, Projman assumes that each holiday is to last one duration unit.
