That's the way you tell the system what you want it to do. When an airplane is landing there is a radar beacon at the far end of the runway that tells the aircraft if it is too high or too low, too far right or too far left, and how much in all those cases.
Create a new variable whose value is a month name. Note: If your numeric is a SAS date value (the number of days since January 1, 1960) you can use the MONNAMEw. format to either display the SAS date as its month name or create a new variable using the PUT function. See Sample 1. If you have a numeric with values 1-12, you'll need a user-defined format. See Sample 2.
Show Only Month Name In Date Cells. Hi, forgive me, this is my first post. I need assistance with the following date range scenario: I have a date field where the user enters a date. I want the next field to automatically give the month of that date for example: user enters 01/01/2008 I want the next field to automatically say JAN etc. I know this is probably quite basic but it would be really helpful if someone could tell me how this is achieved. Many thanks.
