Stardate Functions
From ATS Wiki
In an effort to have people use stardates and the in-game Julian calendar more frequently than real-life dates in brackets, parentheses or chevrons, the following global functions can be used:

How to use stardates
sd2secs/secs2sd
This very moment's stardate: secs2sd(secs())
A stardate in the past or future: secs2sd(convtime(Mon Jul 01 01:00:00 2000)) (The day of the week does not have to be correct, but it is required)
A real-life date from a stardate: convsecs(sd2secs(80000.000000)) (The stardate is not required to go to the sixth decimal point, or to any decimal point at all)
rl2stardate/stardate2rl
Use these functions to convert to/from any real life date to one in the future.
It allows you to convert without having to use the intermediate convtime() as above. For example: rl2stardate(Mon Jul 01 01:00:00 2000)
Or use stardate2rl(80000) to convert from a stardate to a real date.
Follows same rules as above.
How to use the in-game Julian calendar
This requires that one has the stardate to begin with, as there are no functions that perform the equation from secs() directly to the Julian date.
This very moment's time and date: stardate2ad(secs2sd(secs()))
A date in the past or future: stardate2ad(secs2sd(convtime(Mon Jul 01 01:00:00 2000)) (As above, the day of the week is not necessary to be correct, but is required)
