Standard answer will be:
<cfset myYear = 1999>
<cfset myDay = 182>
<cfset x = dateadd("d", myDay, createdate(myYear - 1, 12, 31))>
Of course, those of us trying to liberate dates and allow them free access
into the numeric arena like the much simpler:
<cfset myYear = 1999>
<cfset myDay = 182>
<cfset x = createdate(myYear - 1, 12, 31) + myDay>
Do realize, though, that I am the only member of the DTLA, date-time
liberation army ... ;)

Subject: Reverse Engineer DayOfYear Function?
Folks:
I am trying to obtain a date from the ordinal produced by the function
DayOfYear. In other words, does anyone know how to "reverse engineer" the
ordinal into a usable date? I would assume I'd need to pass the ordinal and
the year to some function to obtain a usable date. I can't seem to find a
function that will accomplish this! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christian N. Abad
