Creating a variable in text box to display current Month-Year

I have a variable set as vCurrentMonth showing 19 which is the Date.Chron.Month value. 

I would like a textbox to display the value for Date.Month.Year (May-2024) through using the vCurrentMonth variable. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this may be done? 

Thanks in advance! 

Date.Chron.Month Date.Period Date.Month.Long Date.Month.Short Date.Year Date.Month.Year
19 7 May May 2024 May-2024

How's vCurrentMonth derived?

At the start of the the script with LET vCurrentMonth = 19;

That represents May 2024 in a range of 48 month, June 2024 is 20, July 2024 21 and so on

Could you tell me why you want to use a variable for this instead of making use of a dynamic one?
