Month with a single character

Hi, everybody!

I need an auto-edit variable for MONTH (current month) but in format "M" instead of "MM". Is there a way to do that?

I mean, 1 for January (instead of 01), 2 for February, and so on. Of course 10, 11 and 12 will remains the same.

In other words, is there a easy way to strip the 0 from the months before October without using a script?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Yes it's possible using SUBSTR function in AUTOEDIT.

example
%%yy=%%SUBSTR %%b 1 2

Thanks, but that one doesn't work for me. If i do this with %%MONTH, it will give me 01, 02, 03 instead of 1, 2, 3 (what i need)...

Quick and dirty way is using the %%LIBMEMSYM defined in Server directory/file

Hi

You can achieve using SUBSTR function in AUTOEDIT.

example:
%%REQ=%%SUBSTR %%MONTH 2 2

Thanks
