Mr. Appell -
One of the parameters of the PostCal command is DATE. This requires a date stored inside a memory cell. I have no problem using input4 and the {promptdate} command to store a date inside a cell. But my question is: is there any way to extract the date in long form?
For example, suppose I use a form that is a deposition notice, which also has the PostCal command in it. I insert the date in the input4 menu, and that gets placed easily into PostCal. Now, however, I want the same date, except in long form(May 25, 2002) to appear on the document. Is there any way I can convert the date from the {PromptDate} to long form? If I use {Prompt} instead, and write the date in long form, the PostCal command won't work. how can I enter one date and have it appear in two different places?

Hi Josh,
the long form you want is the MonthDayYear converter or MDY for short. Please use the code command to accomplish this as in the following example:

Notice that in the above example, it pulls it from memory cell 41.
