  If you only want the short name for month you can use

  select convert(char(3), TableName.ColumnName, 0)

  and this will give the full name of the month

  select datename(month, S0.OrderDateTime)

  Regards,

  =Cdate(Now).ToString("MMM,dd,yyyy") for 3 alphabets of month.
  =Cdate(Now).ToString("MMMM,dd,yyyy") for complete name of month

  What ever format you can choose,

  
  You can put date field in place of Now also

  kindly tell us I am not able to understand where do you want to enter month as 11?

   SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(26), GETDATE(), 130).....Eg:  28 Apr 2012 12:39:32:429AM

   SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 7) ....Eg:  Jan 24, 12

  Hi,

  Use the below expression.

  UCase(Left(MonthName(11),3))

  Instead of 11 you can use the value from parameter or from DB fields.

  Please mark as Answer, if its help you.
  Thanks
