The GANTT Procedure

Example 4.3: Marking Holidays

This example uses the widget manufacturing project introduced in the PROC CPM chapter. The data sets used in this example are the same as those used in Example 2.8 to illustrate holiday processing in PROC CPM. The WIDGET data set describes the project in AON format. The variable TASK identifies the activity and the variables SUCC1, SUCC2, and SUCC3 identify the successors to TASK. The variable DAYS defines the duration of an activity. Another data set, HOLIDAYS, defines the holidays that need to be taken into account when scheduling the project. Although the HOLIDAYS data set contains three variables HOLIDAY, HOLIFIN, and HOLIDUR, the HOLIDUR variable is not used in this example. Thus, the Christmas holiday starts on December 25, 1991, and finishes on December 27, 1991. PROC CPM schedules the project to start on December 2, 1991, and saves the schedule in a data set named SAVEH.

Next, the GANTT procedure is invoked with the specification of HOLIDATA=HOLIDAYS in the PROC GANTT statement and the HOLIDAY= and HOLIEND= options in the CHART statement, causing the Christmas and New Year holidays to be marked on the chart. Note that the procedure marks the duration of the holiday with the pattern corresponding to the seventh PATTERN statement. The HPAGES= option is used to fit horizontal span of the chart on one page. The SIMPLEX font is used for all text by specifying the FONT= option in the CHART statement.
