hi, there are two ways to change date format in cognos....
1) In Query Studio right click on Date key and select the Data format ... Select Format type = "Date" In Right Side u will get different formats of date.. there u can select the Format type and click ok and then run the report
2) In Report Studio, right click on Date key and select Format type is "Date" and right side, display the properties... in Properties select the Date Ordering.. in drop down u will get date formats, select and click ok.. now run the report

Hello it is possible...
IN ORACLE:----
Datatype is int or varchar... so first convert into date by using date function
Eg: to_date('20040105','yyyymmdd');
By using to_char() use can extract which format you want or which particular thing you want.. ex: month, year, date, time...
Eg: select to_char(to_date('20030503','yyyymmdd'),'DD Mon Yyyy') from dual;
here answer: 03 May 2003
IF you want this feature in Cognos use extract().

Nasa...
