Your %date:~0,2% is wrong. It should be %date:~4,2% in the US Here's a simpler script if %date:~4,2% == 01 set month3=JAN if %date:~4,2% == 02 set month3=FEB if %date:~4,2% == 03 set month3=MAR ...
echo %month3% You could add some quoting characters (if "%date:~4,2%" == "01" set month3=JAN) as a fail-safe, but you don't really need to do that since %date:~4,2% is not ever going to be blank From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McSpadden Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 9:12 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [NTSysADM] setting month value in a dos batch set month2=%date:~0,2% if "%month2%" == "01" then goto :Jan elseif "%month2%" == "02" then goto :Feb elseif "%month2%" == "03" then goto :Mar elseif "%month2%" == "04" then goto :Apr elseif "%month2%" == "05" then goto :May elseif "%month2%" == "06" then goto :Jun elseif "%month2%" == "07" then goto :Jul elseif "%month2%" == "08" then goto :Aug elseif "%month2%" == "09" then goto :Sep elseif "%month2%" == "10" then goto :Oct elseif "%month2%" == "11" then goto :Nov elseif "%month2%" == "12" then goto :Dec goto :nextvar :Jan set month3="JAN" goto :nextvar :Feb set month3="FEB" goto :nextvar :Mar set month3="MAR" goto :nextvar :Apr set month3="APR" goto :nextvar :May set month3="MAY" goto :nextvar :Jun set month3="JUN" goto :nextvar :Jul set month3="JUL" goto :nextvar :Aug set month3="AUG" goto :nextvar :Sep set month3="SEP" goto :nextvar :Oct set month3="OCT" goto :nextvar :Nov set month3="NOV" goto :nextvar :Dec set month3="DEC" :nextvar set month3 Gives me nothing??
