KP_ABD OL Newbie Registered: 12/12/13 Posts: 25	So, I have a Date data field I am reading in: Code: RECORD Alpha letterdate L8 redefine{ Date D_letterdate L8 } INTERNAL Full_Letterdate L50 In the data, letterdate = 12312013 which makes: D_letterdate = 12/31/2013 in my code I have: Code: CONVERT Full_Letterdate, D_LetterDate, ',EF ' This populates Full_Letterdate with "December 31 2013" I need that to be: December 31, 2013 The Pres conversion is missing the comma after the day.

Jeff_K Unregistered	This is a known shortcoming for the DATE function to not properly insert the comma. You will need to insert one manually. Edited by Jeff_K (02/05/14 09:42 AM)
