Re: date

I styerted to write this before MH's response

====
Please look at the NCL function list.

All of NCL's date function are summarized under the "Date" category.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/

   (1) Click "Functions" and 'Category Listing'
   (2) Click "Date"

There is no 'yyyymmdd_to_day_of_year'.
There can not be a function for everything!
However, it is trivial to create your own.

undef ("ymd2doy")
function ymd2doy(yyyymmdd:integer)
local yyyy, mm, dd
begin
   yyyy = yyyymmdd/10000
   mm = (yyyymmdd - (yyyy*10000))/100
   dd = yyyymmdd%100
   return( day_of_year(yyyy,mm,dd) )
end
