Julian Date Format?

Does anyone know if there is a DateFormat for Julian Date?

Can you remind us all what julian date is. Is it not the running day number of the year?
for example......12/29/2004 = 364/2004

Convert string (in a Julian Date format) to a date in CR XI Release 2

How do you convert a string field entered in a database as a Julian date " 10109 , 09008. ,,," to
print on a report as date?
09008 would be 01/08/09
10109 04/19/10

A small correction to Brian's formula:
NumberVar myYear;
NumberVar myDays;
myYear := ToNumber( {table.JULIAN} [1 to 2]);
myDays := TONUMBER({table.JULIAN} [3 to 5]);
(Date (myYear, 1, 1) + myDays) - 1;
The result for '09008' will be 01/08/9, by adding ToText, you can get the result in the desired format of 01/08/09.
totext((Date (myYear, 1, 1) + myDays) - 1, "MM/dd/yy");
Here is an alternate solution without having to create variables:
totext(dateserial(tonumber(X[1 to 2]),1,tonumber(X[3 to 5])),"MM/dd/yy");
where X is the julian date in string.

Function module to convert calender date to Julian date format

Hi,
Is there any FM which can convert Calendaer Date to <b>Julian Date</b> format?
Thanks.
Regards,
Madhu

It is not a func mod... but it is pretty straight forward.
data: julian_day(3) type n,
date_aux type d,
date_I_need type d.
first day of the year
concatenate date_I_need(4) '0101' into date_aux.
julian_day = date_I_need - date_aux.
julian_day = julian_day + 1.

thanks a lot....for intrest....
I have found some details about the Julian calendar as follows:
The Julian date for 2006: JAN: 01:12:01:59 is 2453737.00138
245 represent the year digits for year 2006
3737 represent the date fir 1 Jan
.00138 represents the time for 12:01:59
Julian date change as per every day 12 noon it increase one digit in it.
As per ref from
http://www.aavso.org/observing/aids/jdcalendar.shtml
Also chk this calendar where Julian date is 20. October 2006 for 02 November 2006
As per ref from
http://www.calendar.sk/julian_calendar-en.php
I have tried the pure �GregorianCalendar� class from jdk1.4 API and its setGregorianChange method but not getting as per the expected Julian date format. Using the �setGregorianChange()� i have setting the cutover date to Long.MAX_VALUE it means GregorianCalendar now have to act as per the Julian calendar ...so after setting the cutover date it return me changed date using �getGregorianChange()� but that was not the Julian date of the current date...as expected or as per above both scenario. Even though the last two digits are nowhere equal to the actual Julian date.
Program
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setGregorianChange(new Date(Long.MAX_VALUE)); // setting the calendar to act as a pure Julian calendar.
// cal.set(Calendar.DATE, new Date().getDate()); // seting the current date
// Date todayJD = cal.getGregorianChange(); // getting the changed date after the setGregorianChange
Date todayJD = cal.getTime(); // getting the calculated time of today�s Julian date
SimpleDateFormat sdfJulianDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyDDD");
SimpleDateFormat sdfJuliandayOfYear = new SimpleDateFormat("DDD");
System.out.println("today Date = " + new Date());
System.out.println("Today as julian date = " + sdfJulianDate.format(todayJD));
System.out.println("Today as day of year = " + sdfJuliandayOfYear.format(todayJD));
OUTPUT:
USING : Date todayJD = cal.getGregorianChange();
Today Date = Thu Nov 02 15:17:05 IST 2006
Today as julian date = 94229
Today as day of year = 229
USING : cal.set(Calendar.DATE, new Date().getDate());
Today Date = Thu Nov 02 15:19:22 IST 2006
Today as julian date = 06319
Today as day of year = 319
USING : Date todayJD = cal.getTime();
Today Date = Thu Nov 02 15:17:59 IST 2006
Today as julian date = 06306
Today as day of year = 306
There is one another concept i found to get the Julian day of the year as per the Julian day chart mention on nasa site (http://angler.larc.nasa.gov/armsgp/JulianDayChart.html) and i m getting the moth of the year that is 306 for nov 02 2006 using getTime() method in above code then the out put is right for Julian day. But it was not as per the expected Julian date format. So in conclusion we can only able to retrieve the day of year for the Julian calendar. hope their will be a solution for this problem in java api ....else we allways have to depend upon the third party api that was not accepteble some times.....
Kindly chk chart on the site

Conversion of Julian date to YYYYMMDD

Hi,
The flat file has the date in Julian date format YYYYDDD. How to load it into infoprovider in the format YYYYMMDD?
Thanks.

To get the YYYY portion of the Gregorian Date, you would use the YYYY portion of the Julian Date.
To get he MMDD portion of the Gregorian Date you would start with the DDD portion of the Julian Date and start subtracting 31, 28 (or 29 in leap years), 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, and 31, successively, until you first get a result which is zero or negative. The month MM is the number of subtractions you have done, and the last positive subtraction result is the day DD.
As an example, let's use a Julian Date of 2009.278. The YYYY of the Julian Date (2009) would be the YYYY for the Gregorian Date. To get MMDD, start subtracting from 278 as follows:
278 - 31 = 247
247 - 28 (2009 not being a leap year) = 219
219 - 31 = 188
188 - 30 = 158
158 - 31 = 127
127 - 30 = 97
97 - 31 = 66
66 - 31 = 35
35 - 30 = 5
5 - 31 = -26
Since the tenth calculation was the last result that was positive, the MM is 10 and since the positive value from that is the DD or 5. This would result in a Gregorian Date of 20091005.

How to convert Julian format date to regular date format

Hi,
I'm trying to convert Julian date(e.g. 2455657) passed to regular date format(e.g. 2011/4/6), but the Julian date is shown without conversion.
I set the following code, and changed the format to "Date" with "yyyy/M/d" format, but "2455657" is displayed, not "2011/4/6".
<?xdofx:to_date(HIRE_DATE_J,'J')?>
I also set the following with "Text" format field, but it still shows "2455657".
<?xdofx:to_char(to_date(HIRE_DATE_J,'J'),'YYYY/MM/DD')?>
How can I convert Julian format to regular date format?
Thanks in advance
Toru

Take a look at the following post: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/08/more_date_calculations.html
and look at the comments section. Based on the comments, it appears that you can not convert from Julian format and you would have to do this in your query.

Convert sysdate to a julian date 'YYDDD' format    to a number format

Hi
I need to be able to convert sysdate to a julian date 'YYDDD' and update the julian as a number data type. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Use TO_CHAR to get a string representation of a date, such as '110008'.
Use TO_NUMBER to get a NUMBER represnetation of that string.
SELECT     TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYDDD'))
FROM     dual

It looks like you accidentally posted 3 copies of the same question, and then, after you realized the msitake, marked them as "Answered". That's very considerate of you. It would be even better if you changed the subject line of all but one of them to "Duplicate - Sorry!"; the remaining one you can leave as "Unanswered" until it really is.

How to Convert Normal XML date or Oracle date to JDE Julian Date

We can do a simple mathematical step in XSLT :
'xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][d001]") - 1900000'
Or in SQL :
Select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYDDD')-1900000 from dual;
Julian Date is: Year in 4 digits, YYYY, and Number of days in 3 digits, DDD
JDE Julian Date is Julian Date -1900000 (ie it counts Julian date from 1900 Year)
"[Y0001][d001]” returns date in Year in 4 digit + number of days in 3 digits. This is the Julian date.
Subtracting 1900000 ( ie YR ’1900’ & DAY ‘000’) gives the required JDE Julian Date.

Hi,
getTime() (in Date) will give you that date in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
To my knowledege, this is the same as Unix date format.

Inputing dates in non-US date format

I know this is an old issue, but I could not find it resolved in the discussions and threads had been closed:
I cannot figure out how to input dates using my preferred format mm/dd/yy (or dd.mm.yy, or even dd.mm.yyyy) despite having set it up that way in system preferences>international (using Irish, UK, or whatever settings).
This occurs in Address Book where I try to input Birthdays (which I want included in iCal). It appears to want to make everything the current year and month (if dd>12 which makes it confused about dd or mm) or (if dd>=12) it assumes you are entering mm/dd/yy (contrary to my settings in System Preferences). The only way I have found around this problem is to write birthdays out in "long hand" (e.g. 31 May 1935)... Oddly if you give it something like 3/2/12 it will make it 2 March 2012 (rather than 3 February 1912 as intended). Which would be unlikely to say the least...
Definitely not the kind of problem I would expect from MacOS!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

To customize the date (and any other format) to your particular preference, go to System Preferences; select International; select Formats. In the Dates section, select Customize. A pane will appear with Show:. From here you can select Short, Medium, Long or Full.
As an example, I use Medium for my Mail using the dd mm yy format. To make this display, you simply move (rearrange) each of the elements of the day/month/format to your particular choice. You can insert any divider between each of these elements (I use a space).
If you prefer the truncated Julian Date (yyD) format (for specific message/signals processing), simply delete the existing elements from the format line, and drag and drop a date element from the table below the element format line. For Julian Date, I selected Year and then Day of Year (without a space). I then modified the Year format by clicking on the Year element, which then displays a white chevron to right of the numeral. Click on the white chevron and several format options are available. Click your prefered option. Repeat the same process for Day of Year element.
When you are satisfied, click OK.

Wrong Date format in SQL Server

Hello All,
I have an asp page with a hidden field that holds
<%=Date()%>. Because the
Session.LCID is set to UK this value today would be
12/03/2007 (UK format).
When this hidden field is fed into an INSERT Stored Procedure
in SQL Server
in my testing environment, the date format that is inserted
into the
database is the same as the value in the hidden field eg
12/03/2007, which
is what I want.
Now though, the site has moved to a production web server
with SQL Server.
When I perform this exact insert using the same webpages and
(from what I
can see) the same SQL Server configuration, the date inserts
as 03/12/2007,
US format. This is causing me big problems as the website is
complete but
the wrong dateformat is producing some undesirable results.
The whole site
is set up to expect the original format and I cannot see why
this is
happening.
Does anyone have any suggestions and more importantly how I
can change this
please.

There is a real issue here and it has nothing to do with the
way that data
is formatted on the way out.
msSQL does seem to always assume that numbers entered in the
format of
00/00/00 follow the pattern of MM/DD/YY which is American
format. So the 8th
of March entered in UK format of 08/03/2007 ends up being
intrepreted by SQL
as 3rd August. However it only does this up to the 12th of
each month. If
you enter the 13th of March as 13/03/2007 SQL stores it
correctly.
The workaround does seem to enter the number in the
YYYY-MM-DD format as
Julian has suggested.

Create unique Form ID - Help on Date Format in Concat

I am having problems formating a date value in my concat statement. I have tried to write is different ways and still can't seem to get the string correct.
Ideally, I would like to change the date value to a Julian value for the form ID, but I would settle for just mmddyy value without the / or - in between.
Codes I have tried w/out date format string
JavaScript - Calculate
Program.FormID.rawValue=Program.State.rawValue + Program.ProgramNumber.rawValue + Program.ProgramDate.formattedValue;
Returns - MO1234Jul8,2010
-------------And--------------------
Program.FormID.rawValue=Program.State.rawValue + Program.ProgramNumber.rawValue + Program.ProgramDate.rawValue;
Returns - MO12342010-07-08
FormCalc - Calculate
(This one has the current date as a value, but it changes the unique form ID when reopened on another day, that is why I am using ProgramDate)
Concat(Date2Num(Date(), "ddmmyyy"),Program.State.rawValue, Program.ProgramNumber.rawValue)
Returns - 0MO1234
----------- And --------------------
if
(Program.ProgramNumber.rawValue ne null) then
$.rawValue
= CONCAT(Program.State.rawValue, Program.ProgramNumber.rawValue, Program.ProgramDate.formattedValue)
else
$.rawValue = ""
endif
Returns - MO1234July8,2010 (formattedValue)
              MO12342010-07-08 (rawValue)
What would be the better language to use, FormCalc or JavaScript for this example?
I am not all that skilled at coding and use forums like this to help me, so I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance - Eve

Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
   var yyyy = this.getFullYear().toString();
   var mm = (this.getMonth()+1).toString(); // getMonth() is zero-based
   var dd = this.getDate().toString();
   return yyyy + (mm[1]?mm:"0"+mm[0]) + (dd[1]?dd:"0"+dd[0]); // padding
Now, after having spliced the internal Date object, you can do this:
d = new Date();
d.yyyymmdd();
The line above returns today's date: "20100709".

Hello,
searching the Internet I found this formula how to convert Gregorian Date to Julian Date:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/JD_Formula.php
Converting this to PowerShell and running with "Run .Net Script" Activity works:
Why not simple use "Format Date/Time Activity" to use the Gregorian dates?
The example above will return 201307232 as "Format Result" now.
