I'll expand on why this doesn't work. The key thing to note is this:
Given a weekday $W, every month has a first, second, third, fourth and
last $W, but not every month has a fifth $W.
In fact, the only way to express "the fifth Tuesday in June" is with
a SATISFY clause. At least, it's the only way I can think of to do it:
REM Tuesday June SATISFY [$Td >= 29] MSG Fifth Tuesday in June
So the simple-minded formula used to convert First/Second/Third/Fourth
will not work for Fifth.
Regards,
Dianne.
