# Cobol-Date Function (2of 2)

In [Part-1](http://srinimf.com/2011/12/04/cobol-date-function-1) I have given [Date and Time](https://srinimf.com/2019/01/28/db2-date-sql-queries-to-use-in-your-current-project/) Format in COBOL how we get.

Interestingly, there are different date functions in COBOL. Let us see the conversions as below:

WS-DATE is any date example format is 01/01/0001

- **Convert from Gregorian to Integer formats**

COMPUTE WS-INTEGER-DATE = [FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE](https://srinimf.com/2016/01/14/cobol-date-logic-to-find-number-of-days/) (WS-DATE)

* **Convert from Integer to Gregorian formats**

COMPUTE WS-DATE = FUNCTION DATE-OF-INTEGER (WS-INTEGER-DATE)

*** Convert from Julian to Integer formats**

COMPUTE WS-INTEGER-DATE = FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DAY (WS-JULIAN-DATE)

*** Convert from Integer to Julian formats**

COMPUTE WS-JULIAN-DATE = FUNCTION DAY-OF-INTEGER (WS-INTEGER-DATE)

I will add some more in my next posts. Bye untill then…
