问题
I am writing code to convert from a Gregorian date to a JDE (J.D.Edwards) Julian date.
Note: a JDE Julian date is different from the normal usage of the term Julian date.
As far as I can work out from Googling, the definition of a JDE Julian date is:
1000*(year-1900) + dayofyear
where year is the 4-digit year (e.g. 2009), and dayofyear is 1 for 1st January, and counts up all year to either 365 or 366 for 31st December (depending whether this is a leap year).
My question is this: are years before 1900 supported? If so, does the above formula still hold, or should it be this:
1000*(year-1900) - dayofyear
(note minus instead of plus.)
or something else?
Does anyone have a link to the official documentation for this date format?
回答1:
The JDE Julian date consists of CYYDDD which is Century, Year, Day of year.
Century is zero for 20th e.g. 19XX and one for 21st e.g. 20XX.
The year is two digits. So 101001 is 1 January 2001
As you can see this will not support dates before 1900.
See this Oracle page for a simple and official explanation: About the Julian Date Format

The "JDE Julian Date Converter" does return a negative value for:
1809/07/23 : -90635
As opposed to the classical Julian Date:
The Julian date for CE 1809 July 23 00:00:00.0 UT is
JD 2381986.50000
Here is a example of JD EDWARDS (AS/400 software) Julian Date, but that is not an "official" documentation and it does not seems to support dates before 1900...
Note: this "ACC: How to Convert Julian Days to Dates in Access and Back" does not support date before 1900 either... as it speaks about an "informal" Julian day, commonly used by government agencies and contractors.
The informal Julian day format used in this article is the ordinal day of a year (for example, Julian day 032 represents February 1st, or the 32nd day of the year).
Variations on informal Julian day formats include using a preceding two-digit year (for example 96032 for 2/1/96) and separating the year with a dash (for example 96-032).
Another, less popular, Julian day format uses a one digit year (for example 6-032). These additional formats do not uniquely identify the century or decade. You should carefully consider the consequences when using these formats; for example, the Julian day 00061 can be interpreted as 3/1/2000 or 3/2/1900.

Update: Sorry, JDE is probably something else. But for reference:
The JDE I know is different. From page 59 in the book "Astronomical algorithms" (Jean Meeus, ISBN 0-943396-35-2):
"If the JD corresponds to an instant measured in the scale of Dynamical Time (or Ephemeris Time), the expression Julian Ephemeris Day (JDE) is generally used. (Not JED as
it is sometimes written. The 'E' is a sort of index appended to 'JD')"
JD and JDE (for the same point in time) are close in value as the difference UT and ET is on the order of minutes. E.g. ET-UT was 56.86 seconds in 1990 and -2.72 seconds in 1900.
There is also MJD (Modified Julian Day):
MJD = JD - 2400000.5
Zero point for MJD is 1858-11-17, 0h UT.
Note that JD as Julian date is a misnomer. It is Julian day. The JD has nothing to do with the Julian calendar. (This is in disagreement with the Wikipedia article, this is from the author of the book mentioned above, Jean Meeus - a Belgian astronomer specializing in celestial mechanics.)

Maybe off from the question, you can convert in Excel using the following formula:
Convert Julian to Date in Excel
In Cell A2 place a Julian date, like 102324
in Cell B2 place this formula: (copy it in)=DATE(YEAR("01/01/"&TEXT(1900+INT(A2/1000),0)),MONTH("01/01/"&TEXT(1900+INT(A2/1000),0)),DAY("01/01/"&TEXT(1900+INT(A2/1000),0)))+MOD(A2,1000)-1
The date 11/20/02 date will appear in cell B2
Convert Date to Julian in Excel
In Cell C2 copy this formula:=(YEAR(B2)-2000+100)*1000+B2-DATE(YEAR(B2),"01","01")+1
This will convert B2 back to 102324

Save the below source code in a source member called JDEDATES. Use the runsqlstm on the first line to create the functions. You can then do things like
select jde2date(A1UPMJ), f.* from f00095 f
and see a real date.
Source:
--RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(qtxtsrc) SRCMBR(JDEDATES) COMMIT(*NONE) NAMING(*SQL)
-- jde 2 date
create function QGPL/jde2date ( d decimal(7,0))
returns date
language sql
deterministic
contains sql
SET OPTION DATFMT=*ISO
BEGIN
if d=0 then return null;
else
return date(digits(decimal(d+1900000,7,0)));
end if;
end; -- date 2 jde
create function QGPL/date2jde ( d date)
returns decimal(7,0)
language sql
deterministic
contains sql
SET OPTION DATFMT=*ISO
BEGIN
if d is null then return 0;
else
return (YEAR(D)-1900)*1000+DAYOFYEAR(D);
end if;
end ;

A sample of VBA code to convert back and forth between JDE Julian Date and Gregorian:
Public Const Epoch = 1900
Public Const JDateMultiplier = 1000
Public Const FirstJan = "01/01/"
Public Function Julian2Date(ByVal vDate As Long) As Date
Dim Year As Long
Dim Days As Long
Dim SeedDate As Date
' Day Number
Days = vDate - (Int(vDate / JDateMultiplier) * JDateMultiplier) - 1
' Calendar Year
Year = ((vDate - Days) / JDateMultiplier) + Epoch
' First Day of Calendar Year
SeedDate = CDate(FirstJan + CStr(Year))
' Add Number of Days to First Day in Calendar Year
Julian2Date = DateAdd("d", Days, SeedDate)
End Function
Public Function Date2Julian(ByVal vDate As Date) As Long
Dim JYear As String
Dim BeginDate As Date
Dim JDays As Long
' Calendar Year
JYear = Format(Year(vDate), "0000")
' First Day of Calendar Year
BeginDate = CDate(FirstJan + JYear)
' Day Number
JDays = DateDiff("d", BeginDate, vDate) + 1
' Add Number of Days to Year Number
Date2Julian = ((CLng(JYear) - Epoch) * JDateMultiplier) + JDays
End Function
I have tried to make it as clear and simple as possible, and to this end I have intentionally left out any error trapping. However, you should be able to add the code to a VBA module and call them directly from your own code.
I also include some useful snippets of T-SQL:
Todays Date as JDE Julian Date:
(datepart(yy,getdate())-1900) * 1000 + datepart(dy, getdate())
Convert JDE Julian Date to Gregorian (DD/MM/YYYY), replace XXXXXX with the column name containing the JDE Julian Date:
convert (varchar, dateadd (day,convert (int, right(XXXXXX,3)) - 1, convert (datetime, ('1/1/' + convert ( varchar, (cast(left(right(XXXXXX+1000000,6),3) as varchar) + 1900))))),103)
If you require a different Gregorian format, replace the 103 value (right at the end) with the applicable value found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx

I have an easy way for C using time now and epoch 1970, 01, 01 midnight if anybody is interested. But this is for Julian Day Numbers which is not the same as JDE but they are similar in respect to using math to compute days and I'm sure this idea could be adapted for JDE. Sometimes people just confuse the two like I do. Sorry. But still this is an example of using a time reference which should always be done and since most computers use this it would be just as easy for us not to get too bogged down in dates and just use days before or after this epoch.
Since JDE is now owned by Oracle, they also now support Julian_Day. see: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/temporal/JulianFields.html
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#define EPOCH (double) 2440587.5 /* Julian Day number for Jan. 01, 1970 midnight */
int main ()
{
double days = time(0)/86400.0;
printf ("%f days since January 1, 1970\n", days);
printf ("%f\n", days + EPOCH);
return 0;
}

Wow, there's a lot of complicated code in some of these answers just to convert to and from JDE julian dates. There are simple ways in Excel and VBA to get there.
FROM JULIAN
Excel (assuming julian date is in A1):
=DATE(1900+LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3),1,RIGHT(A1,3))
VBA (from julian date, j, stored as String):
d = DateSerial(1900 + Left$(j, Len(j) - 3), 1, Right$(j, 3))
VBA (from julian date, j, stored as Long):
d = DateSerial(1900 + Left$(j, Len(CStr(j)) - 3), 1, Right$(j, 3))
TO JULIAN
Excel (assuming date is in A1):
=(YEAR(A1)-1900)*1000+A1-DATE(YEAR(A1),1,0)
VBA (to a Long, j):
j = (Year(d) - 1900) * 1000 + DatePart("y", d)
