My guess is that your old application has its own format to keep track of

I don't think that he's talking about Julian date , but something more convoluted.
Might I ask what system these dates are coming from?? We use to use an ERP system
called ManMan. They calculated dates starting with 1 being 31-October-1971. I
created a function in the database
Boolean Dates is simply boss-speak for Julian Dates. There are probably 20
different ways "Julian Dates" can be encoded into an integer.

Hi JL,
try googling for JULIAN dates not boolean. A reason to use Julian dates
could be to allow arithmetic of dates to be either a simple plus or
minus returning the number of days. You still have to convert back and
forth to normal dates for display and human readability. You can see an
