[Date_GetMonth]
[Date_GetMonth] returns the month from a date. If no parameter is specified then the current month is returned, otherwise the month is extracted from the specified date.
The result is a number from 1 to 12 where 1 represents January and 12 represents December. An optional -DateShortName keyword instead returns the abbreviated English month name, e.g. "Jan", and an optional -DateLongName keyword returns the full English month name, e.g. "January".
The date parameter should be in standard Lasso date format.
