utc = double (Given)

dat = double

• This routine converts the MJD argument to calendar date before calling the SOFA/ERFA eraDat function.

• This routine matches the slaDat interface which differs from the eraDat interface. Consider coding directly to the SOFA/ERFA interface.

• See eraDat for a description of error conditions when calling this function with a time outside of the UTC range.

• The status argument from eraDat is ignored. This is reasonable since the error codes are mainly related to incorrect calendar dates when calculating the JD internally.
