About the Calendars Default Message Stream

The Calendars default message stream is used for calendar processing. With Calendar processing, the initial Add procedure generates a Calendar Name and Instance as well as inserts records for all Saturdays and Sundays, flagging these dates as Non-Business Dates for the calendar year sent.

Calendar transactions are loaded using the following streams:

• eagle_default_in_csv_calendars

• eagle_default_in_star_calendars

Sample records, required data fields, as well as panels, binds, and stored procedures for the Calendars stream are described in the following pages.

To review the results of processing in the database, use Query Calendar Information under the Admin category in Eagle Accounting.

To further define the calendar, an update record must be processed for each specific date that you wish to mark as a Non-Business day/holiday.

To customize the calendar, follow these guidelines:

1. Set tag 55 to UPDCALENDAR.

2. Ensure that values for required tags 1941, 4593, 3259, and 1946 are provided.

To include additional years for a calendar, follow these steps:

1. Change the value of tag 55 to ADDCALYEARS.

2. Enter the values for tag 1941 and tag 4299.

By default, the last calendar year for which data exists is brought back to tag 1943 during the Add Years process.
