Hi :
Is there any function in sql server that converts date into Julain date format ?
A Julain date is a number of 6 digits, the first 3 digits are for the year and next 3 for day number in this year.
Eg :
102001 = {01/01/2003}
The first part is 102 that stands for year. To get this value, the actual year with subtracted from 1900. The second part is day number in this year, it must be always 3 digits. If it is less then it is preceeded with zeros. For eg : Jan 31 = 031
Feb 27 = 058 and Jan 02 = 002.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks
- Marjo.

SELECT CONVERT(varchar(4),DATEPART(yy,GetDate()))+CONVERT(varchar(3),DATEPART(dy,GetDate()))
