I have a file path for FTP deliveries that contains the month number, month name, and year.

So for instance, I've got "C:\example\07JUL2020\" as a delivery folder. Using {DATEFORMAT(MMMMMyyyy)} doesn't seem like it's going to work. Is there a way to split the MM (for 07) and MMM (for JUL) so that it reads the path but doesn't conflate the two? Does the program automatically discern that?

Combine the 2 formats:

{DATEFORMAT(MM)}{DATEFORMAT(MMMyyyy)}

07Jul2020

That worked, thanks! We're just trialing the product, but being able to see the full path written out when mousing-over the box is super helpful.

Glad to help. Sometimes you have to get creative with the built-in variables, or write a powershell or .net script to return what you need. The help here in the forums is pretty good and folks are always willing to share tips and tricks. Support folks are always here to to help as well.
