Re: HELP - Convert julian date to gregorian?

This takes the date starting from 16-NOV-1989 This works on Hpunix and localtime() is on unix. long g_date[3]; should be declared in the calling program. So, we are using 20*365..... You can modify for your need accordingly.

#include <time.h>

void format_date (short j_date, long g_date[])

     {
      long tim_val;         /* time in seconds */
      struct tm *tme;       /* time structure */

      tim_val = j_date * 60 * 60 * 24 + ((20 * 365) - 40) * 60 * 60 * 24;
      tme = localtime (&tim_val);
      g_date[0] = (tme->tm_mon) + 1;    /* convert to Gregorian date */
      g_date[1] = tme->tm_mday;
      g_date[2] = tme->tm_year;
