To use the Parameter you should follow the below steps:
- Create a "Input" parameter in your activity of type String and INPUT.
- Replace your java code with below code,
String paramValue= (String) tools.getParameterPage().getParameterValue("Input");try{
java.text.DateFormat fmt1 = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyyDDD");
Date date = fmt1.parse(paramValue);
java.text.DateFormat fmt2 = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Output = fmt2.format(date);
}
catch(java.text.ParseException e){
oLog.info("Parsing error : " + e);
}
This way you can input the date value to your activity.

Hi Henry,
You can try to use the SimpleDateFormat class to get the calendar date format DD/mm/yyyy from the julian date format with the same code attached. Hope this will help you to achieve your requirement.

Can you copy paste the below code in the Java step and try it,
String input = "2019035";
try{
java.text.DateFormat fmt1 = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyyDDD");
Date date = fmt1.parse(input);
java.text.DateFormat fmt2 = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Output = fmt2.format(date);
}
catch(java.text.ParseException e){
oLog.info("Parsing error : " + e);
}
Observation: In your code Output = fm2.format(date) is being referenced.

I was able to get it to work, thanks for your help.
But it seems to only work if I put the Julian Date numbers for ‘String Input’
If I try to pass a parameter it does not seem to take it.
Since the dates will change, how can I pass a value to ‘String Input’ instead of hardcode….
