RE: Julian Date Format output 0YYDDD
From http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/JulianDate.html: Julian dates (abbreviated JD) are simply a continuous count of days and fractions since noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE (on the Julian calendar). Almost 2.5 million days have transpired since this date. Julian dates are widely used as time variables within astronomical software. Typically, a 64-bit floating point (double precision) variable can represent an epoch expressed as a Julian date to about 1 millisecond precision. Note that the time scale that is the basis for Julian dates is Universal Time, and that 0h UT corresponds to a Julian date fraction of 0.5.

RE: Julian Date Format output 0YYDDD
Charles, I built a whole series of Julian Date Format functions that are available as UDFs at the www.cflib.org web site. JulianDayofWeek: Returns the day of the week for a date in the Julian calendar. Returns the day of the week for a date in the Julian. If no date is provided, defaults to the current day. Verified to be accurate between 400 and AD. GetDateFromJulianDay: Calculates the date and time from a provided Julian Day value. GetDateFromModifiedJulianDay: Calculates the date and time based on a modified Julian Day. GetJulianDay: Calculates the Julian Day for any date in the Gregorian calendar. This function calculates the Julian Day for any date in the Gregorian calendar. Astronomers have used the Julian period to assign a unique number to every day since 1 January 4713 B.C.E. Julian Days begin at noon on the date specified GetModifiedJulianDay: Calculates the modified Julian Day for any date in the Gregorian calendar. Calculates the modified Julian Day for any date in the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes a modified Julian day number (MJD) is used which is 2,400,000.5 less than the Julian day number. This brings the numbers into a more manageable numeric range and makes the day numbers change at midnight UTC rather than noon. MJD 0 thus started on 17 Nov 1858 (Gregorian) at 00:00:00 UTC. I hope these help. Good luck.
