    Explore the (strcase) function.

    If you are using any DIESEL, it has it's own function named "upper"

    are you using fields? if so, I believe you can adjust the formatting so that it will show the month in all caps. Fields and text would probably be much simpler than using programming to insert the information.

    I got you, you are using RTEXT, I dont have much experience with that but I do know that is an old express tool, I would recommend switching it out for something more modern

    Well, you can do exactly the same thing using Diesel in a normal Field. Simply list the RText and see what its expression is. Open the text screen (F2) and select and copy (Ctrl+C).

    Then edit / create a normal DText or MText and start a field (Right-click --> Insert Field or just Ctrl+F). Browse to the Other field category and select Diesel Expression as a Field name. Paste that code into the Diesel expression edit box. Then add the upper diesel function to convert to uppercase. The diesel code should look like this:
    Code:
    $(upper,$(edtime, $(getvar, date), "MONTH YYYY"))
    The final field code looks like this:
    Code:
    %<\AcDiesel $(upper,$(edtime, $(getvar, date), "MONTH YYYY"))>%
    And then of course you can see this in the attached, where I've placed this field inside a normal MText.

    BTW, seeing as you're using RText (which is not "really" available anymore) what version of ACad are you using? Using the Diesel expression as above in a new RText gives the same result - also in the attached.
