Convert Calendar date to Julian date format

[Former Member]

Does anyone have the logic/code to convert normal calendar date(YYYYMMDD) to Julian format using ABAP ?

[Former Member]

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.

What is the format of the Julian Day?

Maybe this http://www.numerical-recipes.com/julian.html

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
