NOTE:
(1) If the Century or Julian format is specified, then no other options
are permitted. These two formats are provided for compatibility
with
programs written for releases prior to VM/ESA(R) version 2 release
1.1. It is recommended that they not be used for new programs.
It would seem that if you specify Julian format you have to use today's
date.

Subject: Re: REXX Date Function Help...Please
For the group (sent this to Howard personally when I did a reply):
Is this what you mean?:
jday = date('J')
Say DATE('U',jday,'J')
On DATE: the first parm is the output format (USA) - the 2nd is the
input date - the 3rd is the input date format.

I have the DATE function working in order to get the current date into
Julian date format but I'm have difficulty going the other way...Julian
date to standard date such as MM/DD/YY.
I've tried tries a number of ways to format the DATE function to do this
without any success.
I surrender.
File_Juldate = DATE('J',FILE_DATE) Doesn't work.
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Thanks
