About This Control Statement
(1) HOL
This is the keyword that indicates the beginning of a holiday information control statement.
(2) calendarname Calendar name
Specify the calendar name (for the SYSTEM_CALENDAR or some other) within 24 bytes. The following characters should not be used to specify a calendar name: /?*;,\"<>|:, space, or any user-defined character. Note that, if a name of an existing calendar that has already been set up is specified, the previous setting information is overwritten.
(3) yearset Year setting
Specify the year(s) in which holidays are set in four digits, using numerals.
Holidays can be defined for three years (current year, next year, year after next). To define the same holiday pattern for every year, specify "EVERY".
Year Setting Example
The following gives an example to set the current year and the next year when the current year is 2005.
yearset 2005,2006
(4) monthset Month setting
Specify the month(s) in which holidays are set, using numerals. To specify more than one month, the format should look similar to "3,5,10,....." To define the same holiday pattern for every month, specify "EVERY."
(5) dayset Day setting
Specify the day(s) which is (are) set to holiday(s), using numerals. To specify more than one day, the format should look similar to "1,2,15,....."
(6) weekset Day of the week setting
Specify holidays by day of the week. A day of the week should be specified by using the first three letters of the day. To specify more than one day of the week, the format should look similar to "SUN,MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT".
(7) daycancel Day setting cancellation
Used to cancel the holiday setting for a specific date. Use the format "MM,DD(,DD),YYYY", all in numerals. "EVERY" cannot be specified for this operand.

Cautions
The "Month setting" should be placed after the "Year setting."
The "Day setting" and the "Day of the week" should be placed after the "Month setting."
To specify more than one holiday pattern, combine a "Year setting" and "Month setting" to form one holiday pattern, and specify such combinations as many as required.
