PROGRAM NAME: CalJul.PRG/JulCal.PRG
DESCRIPTION: Routines for converting a date to a numeric Julian
date.
ISSUE: July, 1985
PAGE: 4
SOFTWARE VERSIONS: dBASE II, any version
FUNCTION: CalJul.PRG converts date, a character variable in the
form MM/DD/YY, to a numeric variable, Jul:date. The second
routine, JulCal.PRG, converts a numeric date variable to a
character date variable. These routines are meant to be called
from programs, so that dates can be stored in a database file as
Julian dates (numeric fields), and displayed as characters.
FILES NEEDED: CalJul.PRG
JulCal.PRG
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: To use Caljul, store a character string in
the form "MM/DD/YY" to a variable called date. When you want to
convert the character to a numeric julian date, type DO Caljul.
Then, for example, you can replace your date field with jul:date
and type DO Caljul.
