TARGET is an acronym for the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer. The associated calendar is used by the ECB [1] and many European market participants.
It is represented in the QuantLib Addin as “TARGET”.
There is also an online QuantLib calendar calculator here http://quantpanel.bnikolic.co.uk/Calendar
The example below show the use of the qlCalendarAdvance function
to calculate the next business day according to the TARGET
calendar.

Below is example usage in QLW – QuantLib-Addin like interface from Java and Python which shows dates that are 1, 10 and 100 days later according to the TARGET calendar. You can also try this QuantLib function online at http://quantpanel.bnikolic.co.uk/Calendar
