BusDaySwitch
Basis of Business Days. See List of Holidays for detail.
A Business Day Switch specifies which, if any, holiday regime you want the function to observe, for example, no holidays=zero or omitted, 20=weekends only, 200=USA (NYSE) Business Days.
BusDaySwitch appears in many functions, but it is also useable anywhere where an Annual Date Sequences are used, for example the variables Periods and AnnDateSeq. So all the projections functions (eg FStep, Con etc) can use a BusDaySwitch.
