How to get the name of previous month with year (no time required) using javascript or any other method

[suprakash]

I need to get the name of previous month with year (no time required) .

My requirement is to display it on scheduled report subject.

Like for example :   writing this on the subject   javascript:"This report is   for " + gs.now();

it displays the current date

. but i have to send the report for previous month.If the month is may 2017 .Then the subject should be like This report is for the month of April 2017.

How can i do this??

And if you can help me with how to write this thing in report header then it will be greatly helpful.

var monthNames = ',December,January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November'.split(',');

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var month=(monthNames[new GlideDate().getMonthLocalTime()]+":"+gdt.getYear());

It can be done by this code but how to put in the subject i am not getting any way

Hi All,

Please try this also:-

function test1(){
var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addMonths(-1);
return (gdt.getDate().getByFormat("MMM-yyyy"));
}

Thanks,

var gr = new GlideDate();
gs.info(gr.getMonthUTC()) // returns current month
gs.info(gr.getMonthUTC()-1) // returns previous month

Use this script,

var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",

  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];

	var date = new GlideDateTime();
	date = monthNames[date.getMonthLocalTime()-2]+":"+date.getYear();

If you want to call it as in email subject, create one mail script and call this notification body like this way,

var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",

      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];  

	var date = new GlideDateTime();
	date = monthNames[date.getMonthLocalTime()-2]+":"+date.getYear();
	email.setSubject('This is the report of previous month '+date);

call this in notification body: ${mail_script:<mail script name>}
