I found a program in the documentation for julian.
Entering 03/07/21 and 03, 07, 21 return different results.
Is there a reason for this?

yes, there is!

Returns the Julian date. (dates must be greater than 1/1/100 AD).

try this:
?julian("03/07/2021")
?julian(03,07,2021)
pause:end

I did see that in the manual, but I often do tests to see how correct the manual is. As you can see, using a 2 year number for  AD 21 should work the same as you're not going to enter 0021. In many cases as the leading zeros would be dropped in variables.
a = 0021: ? a (result is 21)

Despite what the manual says, the year 21 in one format seems to work, but I didn't check to see if it returned a correct answer.
