Thank you Gerhard: this is shorter and runs faster than the IFTRIG method. However there is a problem: if the user has an unrelated OMIT that happens to fall on the last Sunday of May, it will also retard Mother's day a week later, as if it was Pentecost... Solution: clear the global OMIT context for these 2 lines only. The OMIT nature of Pentecost is probably not needed outside of this trick, Pentecost being a Sunday anyway. So this seems to work well: OMIT 25 May 2003 MSG test omit colliding Mother's day PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT CLEAR-OMIT-CONTEXT OMIT [trigger(easterdate(year(today()))+49)] MSG Pentecôte REM Sun [_last(May)] OMIT Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat AFTER MSG Fête des Mères POP-OMIT-CONTEXT However this no longer runs faster than IFTRIG, but roughly the same. Anyway I adopt this method, thanks again Gerhard!
