How to count day number out of 365 days ?

I don't understand what you want to do. How many days since the 1st of Jan it is? So 1st Jan is day 1, 2nd Jan is day 2, etc? If that's what you want, then try this.

DEFINE VARIABLE lvDate AS DATE     NO-UNDO.

lvDate = TODAY.

MESSAGE (lvDate - DATE(1,1,YEAR(lvDate)) + 1)
  VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

No. My problem is suppose today is 23rd so i want the count or number of this day out of 365 days.

like 70 80 90 etc.

I still don't understand because that sounds exactly like what I said: If today is the 2nd of January then it is day 2 of 365?

 

[jmac13]

do you mean that within a year there are N number of days that are 23rd?

def var d as date.
d = today.
def var d2 as date.
d2 = date(01,01,2011).

message d - d2 + 1.

If run today, it gives 178.

Essentially what I posted above, but mine will work for any date in any year.

Woops I did not see that you had posted the code.
