We're implementing A7.3, so we don't have any interfaces or reports to change, 
but it is a little inconvenient. They do run on multiple platforms, so I guess 
that must be the reason for the date format. We're writing views for reporting 
that convert the Julian values to L-dates. That way we can use long table and 
column names and be somewhat independent of the JDE database.
