Hello there,
I'm trying to write a report that needs to retrieve the number of calls received into the center every month, but I stuck in how to return the name of the month not the number of the month. I'm using here the REDEFIN the name of the field as the following code:

DEFINE FILE CALL_CENTER/CALL_STATS
C_MONTH REDEFINES CALL_STATS.CALL_STATS.C_MONTH = LCWORD(10, CHGDAT('YYMD','MX',C_MONTH,'A10') ,'A10');


END
TABLE FILE CALL_CENTER/CALL_STATS
.
.
.
anyone knows how to display the name of the month instead of the number please?

Try switching the format from YYMD to YYMtrDm.

There are several ways and format available (short, long, w/ or w/o year, ...). Depending on the format of the source Date, you may have to use more than one function.

Below are some sample (also Babak one)

DEFINE FILE GGSALES
Mth/Mtr = DATE;
YMthD/YYMtrD = DATE;
YMth/YYMtrDm = DATE;
END
TABLE FILE GGSALES
PRINT DATE/Mtr
      Mth
      YMthD
      YMth
BY DATE
WHERE READLIMIT   EQ 5;
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 5;
END
