1041 - How can I change the date format?

by - Joseph Ganci

I'm trying to fix the date to be displayed on my screen.
The way that is being display is like this:

10-August-2001
when what I really want is this:10-Aug-2001

Is there a way to do this? What do I have to change in the variables to achieve this?

This is actually what I'm using now:

{Day}-{MonthName}-{Year}

Use

{Day}-{SubStr(MonthName , 1 , 3)}-{Year}

If you are in a country outside the United States or England you may need to use semicolons instead:

{Day}-{SubStr(MonthName ; 1 ; 3)}-{Year}
