Posted on by vivaclipper

CToMonth()

Convert name of month to its ordinal number

Syntax

       CToMonth( <cName> ) -> nOrdinal

Argument

<cName> Designates the name of one of the 12 months.

Returns

CToMonth() returns the number for the designated month name.

Description

Use CToMonth() to change the name of a month into a number. January corresponds to 1, February 2, etc.. If the function returns a 0 value, then an invalid parameter has been passed. If you shorten the month name, use explicit abbreviations to return an accurate return value.

Notes

. Uppercase and lowercase letters do not affect the name of the month. . The function’s operation depends on the country-specific adaptation of your Harbour compiler. With an English version of Harbour, only English month names are recognized.

Examples

       .  Show the number for January:
              ? CToMonth("January")      // Result: 1
           .  Show several ways to determine the month number for August:
              ? CToMonth("AUGUST")       // Result: 8
              ? CToMonth("August")       // Result: 8
              ? CToMonth("Au")           // Result: 8
           .  The number for April:
              ?CToMonth("A")             // Result: 4

NToCMonth()
 Changes the number of a month into a month name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     NToCMonth(<nMonth>) --> cMonth

 Argument

     <nMonth>  Designates a month number for which a month name is returned.

 Returns

     NToCMonth() returns the name that corresponds to the month number.

 Description

     NToCMonth() determines the month name that corresponds to its month
     number.  January is 1, February is 2, ..., December is 12.  If a number
     outside this range is passed, the function returns a null string as a
     value.

 Note

     The function's operation depends on the country specific adaptation of
     your Clipper compiler.  With an English version of Clipper, only
     English day names are returned.

 Example

     An English Clipper returns:

     ? NToCMonth(1)         //"January"
     ? NToCMonth(2)         //"February"
     ? NToCMonth(12)        //"December"
     ? NToCMonth(14)        //""
