::::::::: There is (maybe not-so-common) format (I think SAS uses it a lot):   '''mmMonthyyyy'''   (no leading zeros)   as in (today):   '''5Jul2018'''   (using the 3-char English month name).   I don't know if this particular format has a name.   --[[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:03, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
