How to display long weeknames and monthnames

[qw_johan]

Hi,

How can I choose to display full/long month names or week names instead of the shorter version?
I have added the following:

code][SET MonthNames='jan;feb;.......
SET LongMonthNames='January;February;.....
SET DayNames='mo;tu;...........
SET LongDayNames='Monday;Tuesday;.........

Thanks

Well if you want to display it instead, why are you adding a 2nd variable? Just replace the MonthNames system variable values with January, etc.

If you are using a calender you can also add them as a field, fe:

JOIN (Calendar)
Load * Inline [
Month, MonthName
1, Januari
2, Februari
3, Maart
4, April
5, Mei
6, Juni
7, Juli
8, Augustus
9, September
10, Oktober
11, November
12, December];

After you create this variables you can use the long name expression for names:

for example:

=date(today(), 'DD/MMMM/YYYY') will return the date with the full month name.

The expression:

=date(today(),'WWWW DD/MMMM/YYYY') will return long day name, number of the day, long Month name and year

Or just change it into:

[SET MonthNames='January;February;.....
SET DayNames='Monday;Tuesday;.........

That should also work I think, if you don't need the short names
