Discussion
U_CNVDAT converts lunar (month-oriented) dates to Julian and vice versa.
U_CNVDAT returns either a converted month and day in month and day or a converted Julian day in julian, depending on whether the mode is 1 or 2. The year stays the same regardless of mode.
If any of the input arguments are invalid, number 9s will be returned.
Examples
The following example places the Julian day for January 25, 1994 into julie.
xcall u_cnvdat(1, 94, 1, 25, julie)
The next example places the month and day of the 265th day of 1993 into mn and dy.
xcall u_cnvdat(2, 93, mn, dy, 265)
