Try the new HPDATECONVERT and/or HPDATEFORMAT INTRINSICs (documented at
http://www.docs.hp.com/; see the MPE/iX COMMUNICATOR articles).

Or, if you are using COBOL, use the DATE-OF-INTEGER, INTEGER-OF-DATE, DAY-OF-
INTEGER, and INTEGER-OF-DAY functions.

VESOFT's MPEX has a very rich set of date operators and functions.

Finally (last-but-not-least), you might want to check out Robelle's SmartDate
library product at http://www.robelle.com.

Have fun!
