Re: Sightly OT: Unix scripting
(all examples are using /usr/bin/ksh shell)
You could do it this way:
DATE=$(date '+%y%j')
DATE=$((${DATE} - 1))
[ ${#DATE} -eq 4 ] DATE=0${DATE}
But you have bigger problems my friend. What happens if the date is 02001
and you subtract 1. The result is 02000 which is invalid. Since you are
in a script that is using the db anyway why not do something like this:
{
sqlplus -s /nolog EOF
connect /
set pagesize 0
select to_char(sysdate - 1, 'YYDDD') from dual;
exit;
EOF
} | grep -iv connected | read DATE

Re: Sightly OT: Unix scripting
I'll show you one way to do it, if you quit calling that a Julian date. :)
( YYDDD is not a Julian date )
$ echo $DATE
2079
$ DATE=$(echo $DATE | awk '{ print substr($1,length($1)-4)
}')
$ echo $DATE

RE: Sightly OT: Unix scripting
Terry, I don't see a format like that in the unix date command formats, unfortunately. You may have to test the value and pad the number yourself. I have to do that in a number of my perl scripts.

Re: Sightly OT: Unix scripting
Yes it's day-of-year. Some Unix doc's list it as Julian day-of-year.
Same difference...
