i like this script:
http://invent3k.external.hp.com/~MGR.GARVERIC/xeqs/doy.txt

it can be easily called from a cobol program.  even better, you can
probably wrap doy in another ci script.  you call your script with your
two dates...and then pick-up the return variables....formatted as you
desire.       -
