Lua SwxWare v13.10
This helper function checks if a given date is a federal/public holiday in the given German federal state(s).
local bHoliday = IsHolidayInGermany(nFederalState, tCheckDate)
This function returns a boolean value.
The moving church holidays (Easter) are calculated by the Heiner Lichtenberg formula which extends the original formula by Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Parameters
nFederalState:
One or more (logical or combined) constants defind for each German federal state:
GSE_BL_BW -- Baden-Württemberg GSE_BL_BY -- Bayern GSE_BL_BE -- Berlin GSE_BL_BB -- Brandenburg GSE_BL_HB -- Bremen GSE_BL_HH -- Hamburg GSE_BL_HE -- Hessen GSE_BL_MV -- Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GSE_BL_NI -- Niedersachsen GSE_BL_NW -- Nordrhein-Westfalen GSE_BL_RP -- Rheinland-Pfalz GSE_BL_SL -- Saarland GSE_BL_SN -- Sachsen GSE_BL_ST -- Sachsen-Anhalt GSE_BL_SH -- Schleswig-Holstein GSE_BL_TH -- Thüringen GSE_BL_KD -- Köln/Düsseldorf (Rosenmontag) (NRW is included))
tCheckDate:
Optional*. The date that should be checked. You can pass the date in different types and formats:
- string, in "%d.%m.%Y" format, i.e. DD.MM.YYYY
- number, in os.date "*t" format
-
table, in the following format
t.day
t.month
t.year
If the parameter is omitted, the current date (of the script user, according to his time zone settings) will be used. For this you could also use the GSE build-in function CurDate() or the Server Script API function PBXUser.Now().
* Please note: due to a bug in SwyxWare 13.10 this parameter is not optional yet. In the "Lua based call routing" release version of SwyxWare, this will be fixed.
Examples
-- check the current date in the federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen if (IsHolidayInGermany(GSE_BL_NW) == true) then -- do something end -- check the current date in the federal states of Bremen and Hamburg if (IsHolidayInGermany((GSE_BL_HB | GSE_BL_HH), CurDate()) == true) then -- do something end
You can also use this function directly within the property page of the GSE Evaluate block:
When using a VBScript based callrouting there are two similar functions for Germany and Austria available:
- IsPublicHolidayAT (Austria, including Federal States)
- IsPublicHolidayDE (Germany, including Federal States)
