Most references to a "Julian date" [for IBM i anyhow] likely apply only to a presentation-format and\or input-format for Gregorian date values. For example the CHGJOB DATFMT(*JUL) does not change the job to use the Julian calendar, instead the request merely changes the job to default the presentation and expectation for input of Gregorian date values. I am not sure of what if any external interface might expose the Julian calendar type, except perhaps the SQL JULIAN_DAY scalar; beyond that, the database [AFaIK still] only supports the Gregorian calendar [though, with the skipped\missing days accounted\included] for date calculations. I am not aware of what other than the LOCALE has exposed the Era calendar type.
