Retrieving a julian date for 2019 with to_date returns wrong value?

edited Jan 25, 2020 4:00AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hello,

I have a char field populated with the year and julian date, for example 19153. when I convert it to a date field with to_date(field,'yyddd'), it returns 6/1/2019. But according to a chart that I have, June 1st is day 152 for 2019 and day 153 for 2020. So it's picking up the 2020 julian date?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Howdy, Stranger!
