I have a table that has a date field YYYYMMDD. What is the best method for
translating this into a julian date and what is the best method of getting a
julian date into this date format?

Thanks.

Mark,
Could you add some more information for us?

1.) Is your table a foreign table or defined in OneWorld as a custom or original?
2.) What is the type of your field (Date, Integer, MathNumeric, String, one of the native types of foreign table, etc.)?
3.) If your table is a foreign table then:
3.a.) In what kind of database does it reside (Access, SQL, Oracle, DB2, etc.)?
3.b.) How do you acces this table in OneWorld (e.g. as a new datasource through ODBC)? Do you want to access it in OW at all?

... and your OW version?

Happy New Year!

Mark,
If you handle dates in a One World program your system doesn't use Julian
or Gregorian dates, but JdeDate which is a structure built up of fields
date, month, day, all integers. In ER programming you can access all these
fields whith date_year(JdeDate), date_month(JdeDate) etc. functions. I think
your gregorian format can only be represented in OW as a string (but if it
is numeric it doesn't make too much difference) so you have to write ER
conversions between the numbers and the elements of your string (it's not
too difficult). In a case where we had to get a string output from JdeDate
we wrote a NER Business Function that handled the conversion (Convert Date
to String Flexible, we used format strings to describe the required elements
and separators)
Regards and Happy New Year!

Re: RE: Gregorian Date

Mark,
... and we have written an other conversion NER BSFN: "Convert String To Date Flexible" too. It converts dates represented with two or four digit year too to jdeDate. In two digit case you have to designate a two digit separator year. The only needs against the input string is that the year, month and day part of the date have to be reside on the same character positions (e.g. you can define it as "nMonthFromPosition" and "nMonthLength", etc.), further the day, month and year can contain leading and trailing blanks and leading zeros (e.g. September could be: 09, _9 or 9_), so you can convert YMD, MDY, DMY formats with or without separator characters.
I almost have forgot, the input date represanted by the string could be Julian or "normal".
:)) ... and of course it calls our "Convert String To Numeric" NER BSFN conversion.
Happy New Year!

Zoltan,

Re: RE: Gregorian Date

Dave,
I couldn't add it to the Tips.
Eric can do it.
You can read a short conversation with the subject "How to post to the new Tips & Traps forum" initiated on 12/20/00 09:02 AM by me on the General Forum.
Happy New Year!

Zoltan,

1. The table is defined to OW as a customized table.
2. The field is defined as Numeric (YYYYMMDD)

Thanks for the assistance.


Mark

you could simply use the business function "Convert String to Date"
