Good morning,

I'm trying to get Solid Edge to display dates in the format "dd-MMM-yy" (06-OCT-05). Using Property text of part and draft files I pull the dates automatically using callouts. However the MMM for month displays the Month as "Oct" or "Sep". Solid Edge says it gets these values from the registry (see below), but I'm unable to find it.

Anybody know how I can setup Solid Edge to display the month abbriviations in all CAPS.

From Solid Edge Help:

MMM = The month is displayed as a three-letter abbreviation, specified by the LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME registry value.
 
Hi,

the help infomation is not correct as it refers to an SE internal constant
for the monstname. The WIN-API, however, specifies some constants for the
abbreveiated monthname CAL_SABBREVMONTHNAMEx were x runs from 1 (jan) to
13 (some contries have a 13th month)

But in any case it's taken from Windows as Windows defines it -- without
any SE specifc option there will be no chance to have it in uppercase unless
you have an addin running that sets a custom variable to your need which in
turn can be used by a callout.
