Not sure about CR 9 but in CR XI, there is a custom repository function called cdStatutoryHolidays that you can customize for your holidays and use it in multiple reports if need be.

What are you going to do with these hard coded dates?You could create a custom function that resides in the repository so you can reuse the function over many reports instead of creating variables inside a single report.

Not sure I'm the best person to answer because I seem to be experimenting in my own inexperience. What I would try first would be to create variables for each of the holidays and pull them into the report. Such as

dateVar Christmas := Date (2007, 12, 25);Christmas

I think you can then perform more calculations on it, such as to find how many days etc.
