There's Julian date and Julian daynumber. One is number of days since a given date. Other is year plus days within a year as in your example. I can't remember which term applies to which, but it seems logical to me that daynumber would be the one which is year plus day within year. If you search the web for Julian, date, day, and number, you'll get a lot of "hits" with information.

FoxPro stores dates internally as the number of days since a start date (somewhere around 4000 B.C., I forget). DateTimes are stored as that day number plus a decimal part representing how much of the day has passed.

Hope some of this is what you wanted to know.

Cheers,
Rich.
