Julian date fields have either three, five, or seven characters. Whether a Julian date field holds a 3-character date (day of year only), 5-character date (day of year and 2-digit year) or a 7-character date (day of year and 4-digit year) depends on the field definition. However, the format of the date depends on the installation defined date standard.
For example, the Julian date for the calendar date of 28 February 2000 would be represented in jjj or ddd format as 059, in yyjjj or yyddd format as 00059, and in yyyyjjj or yyyyddd format as 2000059.
