The following perfectly gives me the date in Month, Year format.
 DEADLINEMONTH/MtrYY MISSING ON = REPORTINGDEADLINEDATE;


For example, "September, 2015"
But the requirement is for Month Year (without a comma).
I need to sort by this field; so Id like it to remain a smart date.

Anyone know a trick to easily make this happen?

Thanks!

Got it!
 DEADLINEMONTH/MtrYY MISSING ON = REPORTINGDEADLINEDATE;
MYDATE/A21 = DATETRAN(DEADLINEMONTH,'(MYY)','(tr)','EN',21,MYDATE);

mpbMDE - Best answer! The DATETRAN function is very powerful. Unfortunately it uses unconventional parameters.

Ricardo - loads of formats, none of which provide the Month and Year NOT separated by a comma. Also Dialogue Manager date variables are quite different from data date columns.

Cheers.
