When I was in the USMC we used a Julian date - it was the last two digits of the year followed by the cardinal number of the day of the year.
Ex: 1 January 2000 = 00001 1 February 1999 = 99032 - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Moretti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 12:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Julian Date Format output 0YYDDD Julian dates are pre-Gregorian calender (which is what we use now).
