Convert Julian date to a Calendar date

Posted on Feb 10, 2005 at 05:53 PM 111 Views

Is there a function to convert the Julian date to a calendar date? In our Quoting/Engineering our "Smart" numbers use the Julian date. In order to process this info we have to convert the Julian date.

In our R/2 system this was handled by the statement READ CALENDAR.... R/3 does not support this. I need to be able to convert the 3 digit Julian date to a calendar date, e.g. 031 = Jan 31, etc

    Data: 
  greg_date   type d,
  jul_date(3) type n.

greg_date = '20050101'.
greg_date = greg_date + jul_date - 1.

    • greg_date would now have your date

    • add logic to handle the year

    Put this in a function module if you like.

    Here is some code that will show you how to calculate.

    
report zrich_0002 .

data: julian_day type i value '41'.
data: date type sy-datum.
data: firstofyear type sy-datum value 'XXXX0101'.

replace 'XXXX' with sy-datum(4) into firstofyear.
date = ( julian_day + firstofyear ) - 1.


write:/ date.
