I asked this same question quite some time ago. I needed the numbers from 1-31 for days of the month. This was the fastest approach by a long way.

*DateOrdinal.PRG
*This function correctly determines the extension to
*apply to a number (between 1 and 31) to make
*the number 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... 31st
lParameters m.tiNumber
return subs("stndrdthththththththththththththththththstndrdthththththththst", (m.tiNumber*2)-1, 2)

There are other ways to handle this for any range of values.

>I didn't want to reinvent the wheel so I thought I'd ask first. Does anyone have a utility to convert a number to a word that represents a position? For example.

>4 to "4th" (or "Fourth")
>5 to "5th" (or "Fifth") etc. etc.
