I can get the date format Oct-2010 if I use the following code:

COMPUTE DT1/DMY = HDATE(DB_DATE_FIELD, 'DMYY');
COMPUTE DT2/MYY = DT1 ;
COMPUTE DT3/A10 = DATETRAN(DT2,'(MYY)','(-dt)','EN',10,'A10');

But I need October-2010.

If I change the code to

COMPUTE DT3/A13 = DATETRAN(DT2,'(MTrYY)','(-dt)','EN',13,'A13');

I get blanks for DT3. Any ideas why?

Try this instead. Output formatting is being done by the third parameter, not the second.

COMPUTE DT3/A10 = DATETRAN(DT2,'(MYY)','(-dtr)','EN',15,'A15');
