Re: Julian date function

My company has a customer who wants a 4 digit date code laser printed on
our product. They gave me a C++ function that calculates the date
string, but it won't compile under MS VC6. It does run however under
Borland's old 3.1 compiler.

I'm not saavy in the CTime or other date structures offered in MFC, so
I'd be greatful if someone could convert this function to work with the
MS VC++ compiler:

void JULIAN_datecode(char jdate[])
{
 struct date d;
 int i;
 char mo_days [12] = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
 int sn_days;

 getdate(&d);
 sn_days = 0;
 for (i=0; i < d.da_mon-1; i++)
 {
   if (i == 1)
   {
     if(d.da_year % 4 != 0) sn_days += 28;
     else sn_days += 29;
   }
   else sn_days += mo_days [i];
 }

 sn_days += d.da_day;
 getdate(&d);
 sprintf(jdate, "%03d%01d", sn_days, d.da_year%10);
}

Thanks very much.
