Converting From JD Edwards Century Julian to Gregorian

Does anyone have an expression that they use in DMC that will help me convert from a JD Edwards Century Julian date format (Example: 110001 for January 1, 2010) to any Gregorian date format? The GREGDT(indate, output_format) expression doesn't work in this circumstance. I know how to do it in Excel, but that doesn't help me here. Thanks in advance.

Here is a very basic way:

  

-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-SET &XDATE = '110001';

DEFINE FILE CAR
  DATE_IN/A6 = '&XDATE.EVAL';
  DATE_1/A7 = IF EDIT(DATE_IN,'9') EQ '0' THEN '19' | EDIT(DATE_IN,'$99999') ELSE '20' | EDIT(DATE_IN,'$99999');
  DATE_2/I7 = EDIT(DATE_1);
  DATE_3/I8 = GREGDT(DATE_2,'I8');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT * 
   DATE_1 DATE_2 DATE_3
END
-EXIT


You can also set DEFCENT and YRTHRESH on the reporting server/in the program and do it that way...

Tom,

Thanks for your reply. Where do I set the DEFCENT and YRTHRESH values? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Hi Craig,

Actually, that wasn't correct advice to use DEFCENT and YRTHRESH; my bad!

GREGDT requires 5 or 7 digit Julian values with the actual year, i.e. 10001 or 2010001. Your example means the 1st byte is to be decoded into the century, so, DEFCENT and YRTHRESH wouldn't apply.

But, you can put these DEFINEs in the Master instead of multiple programs, or, have them in a common program and
-INCLUDE program_name...

Here is some documentation...

Craig,

I don't have to do that. When you generated the masters did you run them through the JDE conversion?

For Webfocus reporting I just added these functions to our edasprof. I use them all the time.

 
DEFINE FUNCTION JDETOSD(DATE_JDE/P7)
     DATE_GREG/I8YYMD = GREGDT(( 1900000 + DATE_JDE ), 'I8YYMD');
     JDETOSD/YYMD = DATECVT(DATE_GREG, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD');
END
 
DEFINE FUNCTION JDETOID(DATE_JDE/P7)
     JDETOID/I8YYMD = GREGDT(( 1900000 + DATE_JDE ), 'I8YYMD');
END
 
 
DEFINE FUNCTION SDTOJDE(DATE_YYMD/YYMD)
     SDTOJDE/P7 = JULDAT(DATECVT(DATE_YYMD,'YYMD','I8YYMD'),'I5') + 100000;
END
 
 
DEFINE FUNCTION IDTOJDE(DATE_I8YYMD/I8YYMD)
     IDTOJDE/P7 = JULDAT(DATE_I8YYMD,'I5') + 100000;
END
