%MACRO WORKDAYS(START,END);
DATA _NULL_;
FORMAT A B DDMMYY10.;
A = %SYSFUNC(INPUTN(&START,DDMMYY10.));
B = %SYSFUNC(INPUTN(&END,DDMMYY10.));

Answer / oanhntt
first of all, identify the last day of month (using this
intnx('month',d,1)-1). after that make a loop through 1 to
end of month, check if day in loop is weekend or not, using
another variable to count this number.
Regarding to the holidays, except some popular holidays which
I suggest using an external file/dataset to track it, use
this file to identify holidays.
