im kinda new to webfocus and was wondering how to make a function. This is what i want in my function. I use this segment of code many times and wanted to know how i could save a lot of space by just calling CONVERT(MONTH) for example.

IF &ENDMONTH EQ '1' THEN 'January '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '2' THEN 'February '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '3' THEN 'March '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '4' THEN 'April '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '5' THEN 'May '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '6' THEN 'June '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '7' THEN 'July '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '8' THEN 'August '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '9' THEN 'September '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '10' THEN 'October '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '11' THEN 'November '
ELSE IF &ENDMONTH EQ '12' THEN 'December ';

The WebFOCUS Function Reference manual has a chapter called "Creating a Subroutine", and interestingly, they use, as an example, what you want to do: "Using a Custom Subroutine: The MTHNAM Subroutine".

there are many roads leading to Rome....

1) go for a basic training
2) download the documentation (and read it)
3) search here with "find"
4) ask us....

you can use the formula MONTH/TRM=DATE;
