Hi,

Is there any way I can convert a Julian Date(in YYYYDDD format) to CICS Abstime format? Let's assume Julian date hours to be taken as 00:00:00.

I know we can do the opposite like getting Julian Date from ABSTTIME using FORMATTIME functions.

Please help.

Thanks,

CONVERTTIME takes 4 date/time types and convert to ABSTIME.

It doesn't take Julian but if you can covert your Julian to any of the accepted format in CONVERTTIME then you should be done.

Here is the link https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.1.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.applicationprogramming.doc/commands/dfhp4_converttime.html

I would find the ABSTIME for a fixed date (say 2017001) and then you can add (or subtract) the appropriate number of milliseconds for each day offset from your reference date. Depending upon how sophisticated you want to get, you may adjust for daylight savings time appropriately.

Bhola, you ought to be able to convert your date to an acceptable format by using the LE functions CEEDAYS and CEEDATE.
