Happy Victoria Day

You can do some pretty complicated scheduling with run cycle groups in IBM Workload Scheduler. A common request coming from Canada is to schedule around Victoria Day. Victoria Day occurs on the Monday before May 25th.
Here is a run cycle group definition which meets this requirement.
RUNCYCLEGROUP VICTORIADAY ON RUNCYCLE RC1 VALIDFROM 05/01/2000 "FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=12;BYDAY=-1MO,-2MO" SUBSET VDAY OR
EXCEPT RUNCYCLE RC2 VALIDFROM 05/01/2015 "FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=12;BYMONTHDAY=25,26,27,28,29,30,31" SUBSET VDAY OR
END
