Chris,
Are you changing the rules on us? In your first example the date was in the format YYYYMMDD which is the same as @date. Now we need to know what all 12 month abreviations are and whether the day numbers < 10 are one or two digits.

KiX has macros that can return the full month name @Month and month day number @MDayNo. You could build an array of abreviations and use @MonthNo to pull the current one.
