What do you mean by Ordinal vs. Julian? I believe Ordinal may sometimes be year, week, day-of-week? Usually however it is YYYYDDD, or *longjul in RPG.

I should have corrected my vendor by saying Ordinal Date, since it really is not a true Julian date they are wanting.

One of our customers is requiring us to generate a material number based upon the following:

Julian Date
Year
Release Number

The release number we will generate based upon what has already been used before, however I haven't played with julian dates in years, what I am needing is just the julian number for the day for the year we are currently in.

suggestions on how to extract that?
