Hi,

I want to convert the date from DD-MON-YYYY (Ex: 04-FEB-2010) to DD Mon, YYYY (Ex: 04 Feb, 2010) format in AHTML output and this format should able to support sorting functionality by day, month and year.

Please can anyone help me out on this.

What format is your date in (in the master file?)

If it is stored as a date, you can reformat it when you use it in the report:
TABLE FILE GGSALES
PRINT 
     DATE/DMtYY
     DATE/D AS 'Day'
     DATE/Mt AS 'Month'
     DATE/YY AS 'Year'
     DATE/wr AS 'Weekday'
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML


This example just retrieves the same field over and over, and when you sort, it will sort in calendar order (Jan, Feb, etc) , not alphabetical order (April, Aug, etc.).
