jdate.gms : Julian date test
The gams function JDate(year,month,day) accepts arguments similar to
to date functions in other languages. The earliest date is Jan 1, 1, and
the latest date is Dec 31, 9999. Gams picked Jan 1, 1900 as day 1,
as done by Excel. Unfortunately, Excel treats the year 1900 incorrectly
as a leap year and the serial days starting with March 1, 1900 will
be off by one day.
The arguments are can be positive or negative and do not have to form
a proper date. The arguments with fractional values are first converted
to a signed integer by using the floor() function.
Note about Excel:
The Excel DATE(year,month,day) function has the following data ranges
note that excel incorrectly treats the year 1900 as a leap year.
DATE(1900, 1, 1) = 1
DATE(1900, 2,28) = 59
DATE(1900, 3, 1) = 61 incorrect; should be 60
DATE(9999,12,31) = 2958465 incorrected; should be 2958464
for years having a value of less than 1900, 1900 + year is assumed
The wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day defines the Julian date (JD)
as the interval of time in days and fractions of a day since
January 1, 4713 BC Greenwich noon. For example JD values are:
Sunday January 14, 2007 at 13:18:59.9' JD = 2454115.05486
The GAMS days start with 1/1/1900 00:00:00 which giveds an offset of 2415019.500
The following table shows different ways of entering dates:
