I am trying to create a variable based on current date to determine which folder on FTP to grab files from. The folders are in the format JAN, FEB and so on. I am using TalendDate.getDate("MM") to get the month but it gives me the numeric value (11 for NOV) and i want to format it to NOV and use this in my FTPGET to iterate over files only in that folders. What do i need to do to get it in the MON month format System.out.println("Current Month: " + globalMap.get("current_month")); any assistance is greatly appreciated!
