Duration is measured inclusively from the start of the activity (as given in the START variable). In the output, any activity that lasts part of a day is displayed as lasting a full day.

The INTERVAL= option in a PROC CALENDAR statement automatically sets the unit of the duration variable, depending on its own value as follows:

INTERVAL= Settings

INTERVAL=	Default Length of the Duration Unit
DAY (the default)	24 hours
WORKDAY	8 hours

You can override the default length of a duration unit by using one of the following:
