Julian Date Conversion Issue

    Is there a way to convert from a Julian date to a standard datetime and still preserve the time....I wrote a script to do it, but it does not move the time with it, just the date.

    Thanks!!!!!!

    Michael,

    Perhaps you could post your current conversion code?  We may be able to spot the error.

    Michael are the JD you coverting being passed as an 7 digit number or as a decimal? ie 2443711 or 2443711.8125 The decimal portion equals parts of a day. Assuming you have converted the above JD to 1978, July 21  19.50 hours UT. .8125 * 24 = 19.5 = 7:30PM

    HTH
