xRPG Core Library Procedures - RNBDATES: getDateStrMIL()

Receives a date and returns a Military formatted date string.

Mililtary date formats are day month year with the Month spelled out. The third parameter "verbose" specifies whether or not to use the entire Month name or the 3 letter abbreviation.

ex: verbose = 3 JANUARY 1998, not verbose (format = 'Mixed') = 3 Jan 1998.

Updated in v1.08 to return 50A. Previous versions return 10A.
