Hi Stefan,
I had tested your code for the following Julian day 17619600.D using
the following command
DAYCNV, 17628072.D, yr, mn, day, hr
I had got the following calendar date

43551 12 3 12.000000
please note that the time unit of "days since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0". how to
calculate the year in calender format?
Best wishes
Khaled
