Hi ,
Is there a function in C++ to get the short month name
which takes the month Number .
Say I want to pass 03 and get "MAR" in return..
Any help will be appreciated ..

You could easily write your own code to do this:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>


int main (void)
{
  time_t tme;
  struct tm *today;

  char months[12][10] = { "January",
                          "February",
                          "March",
                          "April",
                          "May",
                          "June",
                          "July",
                          "August",
                          "September",
                          "November",
                          "December"
                        };

  time(&tme);
  today = localtime(&tme);
  printf("Current Month = %s\n", months[today->tm_mon]);

  return 0;  
}
But as far as your question goes, you could try using the function 'strtime()'.
