Create unique Form ID - Help on Date Format in Concat

i having problems formating date value in concat statement.  have tried write different ways , still can't seem string correct.

 

ideally, change date value julian value form id, settle mmddyy value without / or - in between.

 

codes have tried w/out date format string

 

javascript - calculate

program.formid.rawvalue=program.state.rawvalue + program.programnumber.rawvalue + program.programdate.formattedvalue;

 

returns - mo1234jul8,2010

 

 

 

-------------and--------------------

 

program.formid.rawvalue=program.state.rawvalue + program.programnumber.rawvalue + program.programdate.rawvalue;

 

returns - mo12342010-07-08

 

formcalc - calculate 

 

(this 1 has current date value, changes unique form id when reopened on day, why using programdate)

concat(date2num(date(), "ddmmyyy"),program.state.rawvalue, program.programnumber.rawvalue)

 

returns - 0mo1234

 

----------- , --------------------

 

if

 

 

(program.programnumber.rawvalue ne null) then

$.rawvalue

 

= concat(program.state.rawvalue, program.programnumber.rawvalue, program.programdate.formattedvalue)

else

$.rawvalue = ""

endif

 

 

 

returns - mo1234july8,2010  (formattedvalue)

              mo12342010-07-08 (rawvalue)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

what better  language use, formcalc or javascript example?

 

i not skilled @ coding , use forums me, appreciate help.

 

thanks in advance - eve

to able use date in format want woudl use javascript new date(). coudl individual month, day , year , concatinate each 1 individually (standard javascript date functions). have add test code see if new form or subsequent opening of form. if subsequent opening woudl not need generate number again.

 

hope helps
