What format will the data in the database be in? YYYYDDM, YYYYDDMM? It would make it a lot easier if it were 20062504.

And BTW, this should usually be done in the presentation layer rather than in T-SQL.

I want to validate the julian dates..instead of converting the date.
Since some the date values are being stored correctly..

By Julian date, do you mean the Ordinal day of year. In other words, 2006254 would mean day 254 of year 2006?

If that is the case, this code should do it.


select
	Date = dateadd(day,convert(int,substring(a.DT,5,3)-1),
	dateadd(year,convert(int,substring(a.DT,1,4))-1900,0))

from
	(Select DT = '2006254' ) a

Results:


Date
