Hello,
Without knowing your exact use case / user story, expected report results, and which version of Pega (PRPC) are you using (example: PRPC v6.2sp2, Pega 7.1.6, etc.), it is difficult to provide a specific answer.
In a Report Definition report, you can populate a column of the report using an nested SQL function and Standard functions available in the Pega-RULES:BusinessCalendar library are available which use business day and holiday information.
Something to keep in mind here would be the Pega definition of 'Business Days.' According to Pega Developer Help:
A business day is a day that is not identified as a holiday nor identified as a weekday with no work, on the Schedule tab of a calendar data instance.
Standard functions in the Pega-RULES:BusinessCalendar library use business day and holiday information. For example, you can compute the number of business days (based on a specific calendar) between two dates. Business days are sometimes called work days.
If your application includes multiple calendar data instances, a non-business day for some users may be a business day for others.

That being said, consider using a BusinessCalendar function in one of the data columns. Here is a link to a PDN article you might find helpful: https://pdn.pega.com/reporting/how-to-use-nested-sql-functions-in-report-definition-rules.

Thanks for the reponse .
I am using pega 7.1.6
1) My requirement is , I need to display the records whose age less than 10 days . (here age is Bussines days difference between CreateDateTime and CurrentDate )
here i am not able to understand how to write sql function with Pega business calander ...Could you please provide any sample code ..
Here are some examples using expressions: (There is additional information and examples in Help on the PRPC portal.
Function calls
Your expressions can call built-in functions, functions in standard libraries, and custom functions. See Functions in expressions.
@SUM(.SubComponents().Price)
@Pega-RULES:MapTo.Function(argument1, argument2)
All combined
Expressions can incorporate all the elements described in this topic together:
@SUM(.SubComponents(38+.Offset).Price)
I think an easier way to accomplish what you are trying to do is simply write a report pulling the last 10 days of new cases.
