int = GetHolAncestorIdFromTable()

 

This macro function returns the ancestor ID of the current holiday in the holidays table.

 

The ancestor of a holiday is the very first holiday from which a holiday might have been copied, either within the Holidays Manager or using the Data Pump.

 

Accessing a holiday’s ancestor ID is useful in advanced holidays macros when you want to apply the same processing to all copies of a particular holiday, including holidays originally copied from the Q++Studio Worldwide Public Holidays Samples Database.

 

This function works like GetHolIdFromTable, but returns the ID of the current holiday’s ancestor instead of the current holiday’s own ID.
