I need to record a transaction date in julian date format (YYDDD). When I use sys(1) or sys(11) I get a number such as 2452571 for todays date. I assume the DDD is the number of days since January 1st, so I probably could subtract the julian number for January 1 from the transaction date.

Anyone else have a better solutionm. The (YYDDD) is required to report insurance policy information to NCCI.

Thanks
