Julian Date conversion in the script

Hi,

We have Julian dates in our SQL Server database.

I can convert them on the database client as well as in the script at the sql part of the script.

But I am doing two part ETL. 'Source --> Staging' and 'Staging --> Final qvd'.

So, I don't want to perform coversion on the database in the 'Source --> Staging' script.

Once the data is loaded to Staging, can I convert in the 'Staging --> Final qvd' script??

I mean without hitting the database again.

E.g:

SELECT schedwin.WO.DATECREAT, DATEADD(s, ABS(DATECREAT), '19700101') AS
Record_Create_Datetime FROM schedwin.WO

Result:

Is there any wahy to do this in QlikView script please?

Thanks

These are not Julian dates. They are UNIX times, i.e. number of seconds since 1970-01-01.

Try

TimeStamp(MakeDate(1970) + DATECREAT/24/60/60) as MyDate
