I haven't tried running your code, but that looks correct. What is your question?

Thanks.

That looks like a good answer. What was the original question? Perhaps we are playing Jeopardy .

OK. When I run the code, I get the following in the log:

10JUL2021

Looking at a calendar, I can see that this is in fact the 2nd Saturday of July 2021. In the Test dataset, I can see a value of 22471 which is the correct value for the 2nd Saturday of July 2021. Everything appears to be working. What is the question?
