I have a query that is working correctly but I am struggling to add in one thing. I have to show the identifiers for late shipments and the number of days they were late. I use this query and it works...

SELECT OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, DATEDIFF(ShippedDate, OrderDate) as DaysLate FROM orders o WHERE DATEDIFF(ShippedDate, OrderDate) > 7

However, I also need to show the dates from my fields of OrderDate, RequiredDate, ShippedDate, in the format as this example, "Jan 23, 1998". I know I am suppose to use DATE_FORMAT but I cannot seem to get it to work, any thoughts?

DATE_FORMAT is MySQL, this is a forum for MSSQL.
Do you want a solution for MSSQL?
