Can anyone out there tell me how the Fiscal calendar is determined.
I need to algorithmically generate the current fiscal week. I have
the past four fiscal calendars and can't figure out the rhyme or
reason behind the start and finish days. It seems that the thing
is determined when Jupiter aligns with Mars or something.
Thanks
Jeff

Most years on the fiscal calendar are made up of four quarters each
with three months each with 4, 4, 5 weeks. (i.e., the first two
months of the quarter have 4 weeks, the third has 5 weeks.) The
weeks, months, quarters, and years always start on Sunday.
Periodically, we have a "leap year" in which the fiscal June is
six weeks instead of five. FY88 is such a fiscal leap year. Thus,
Q4FY88 will have 14 weeks and FY88 will have 53 weeks.

It's in the Toolshed already. Look for FISTIM in the VTX Toolshed,
or see topic 676 in METOO::SW_TOOLS_CATALOG (kp7, etc.).
The secret seems to be that a fiscal year ends on the Saturday
closest to June 30.
