Converting Month to UpperCase

Hi,

Is there any way to convert the Month to Uppercase? I have used format="MMMM, yyyy"
and it displayed "May, 2001". I wanted the date to be displayed as "MAY, 2011" in the MASTER PAGE Header. How can I achieve that through BIRT-2.3.2?

Thanks,
Mupagunaa

Try to convert the result to string and use upper case function of string.

Totally new to BIRT. Could you please elaborate how I can acheive this? I used the "Date" Autotext.

Try this:

importClass(java.text.SimpleDateFormat)
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM, yyyy");
date = dateFormat.format(BirtDateTime.now());
date.toString().toUpperCase();

Hi rihanna, 
 
Do I have to cut paste the above code in the Autotext? or the Data element? or the Text element? Or else, do I have to write any script?? <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/public/style_emoticons/'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/public/style_emoticons/</a><#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/public/style_emoticons/'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/public/style_emoticons/</a><#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif Kindly, let me know.

Sorry Manzeer, forgot to mention that. Create a Dynamic Text using right click -> Insert -> Dynamic Text and copy paste the code inside it.

By the way, Do I have to include the semi-colon after the importClass statement??

Yes, I think you should put a semicolon after import statement, but it doesn't give an error if you don't. Don't really know why.

You are welcome! I'm glad I could help you!
