Convert MM/DD/YYYY to MJD

Hello,
I have a simple question. Is there a routine inside of IRAF to convert standard calendar time into MJD? I don't need it to be specific to the hour or second, just the day. If so, which package is it under? I can't seem to find the routine called cldj, which would solve my problem.
Thanks,
Aaron

See the ASTCALC, ASTTIMES and/or SETJD tasks in the ASTUTIL package. These will compute JD but you can do MJD directly in ASTCALC with an expression. See the help pages for details and examples.
