I'm having a little trouble finding any documentation on displaying a month's name from a numeric value of 200708.

Is there a way to gather this information?

As the numeric field doesn't have a 'day' in it, I'd suggest using edit to extract the two digit month and then set up a decode.

Assume it is a numeric 6

monthn/a2 = edit (numeric field,'$$$$99');
monthsp/a12 = decode monthn ( '01' January
'02' February ..... else 'error';

Try this.
DEFINE FILE CAR
DATE/I6YYMT WITH COUNTRY=200708;
END
TABLEF FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY DATE
END

gives the following results.

COUNTRY DATE
------- ----
ENGLAND 2007 AUG
FRANCE 2007 AUG
ITALY 2007 AUG
JAPAN 2007 AUG
W GERMANY 2007 AUG

I learn new every day, what form gives the month in say spelled out completely.

Great Tips!
It's working well now!

This gives the full month but only works with smart dates.

DEFINE FILE CAR
DATE/YYMTR WITH COUNTRY='200708';
END
TABLEF FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY DATE DATE/YYMtr
END
COUNTRY DATE DATE
------- ---- ----
ENGLAND 2007, AUGUST 2007, August
FRANCE 2007, AUGUST 2007, August
ITALY 2007, AUGUST 2007, August
JAPAN 2007, AUGUST 2007, August
W GERMANY 2007, AUGUST 2007, August
