D'oh!... you beat me to it.
... plus I left off the percent signs around my variables
MMMnum should be %MMMnum% in lines 2+

A different version, which runs on W2k, XP and W2k3 (the %date% format differs; thanks, MS). If this needs to run on a single OS, another line could be removed.
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (%Date%) do set DateOnly=%%a
for /f "tokens=1 delims=/" %%a in ("%DateOnly%") do set Month=%%a
set i=0
for %%a in (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec) do (
set /a i+=1
if !i!==%Month% set Month=%%a
)
echo Current Month: [%Month%]
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (%Date%) do set DateOnly=%%a
for /f "tokens=1 delims=/" %%a in ("%DateOnly%") do set Month=%%a
set i=0
for %%a in (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec) do (
set /a i+=1
if !i!==%Month% set Month=%%a
)
echo Current Month: [%Month%]
something like this?
set MMMnum=%date:~4,2%
if MMMnum==01 set MMM=JAN
if MMMnum==02 set MMM=FEB
if MMMnum==03 set MMM=MAR
if MMMnum==04 set MMM=APR
if MMMnum==05 set MMM=MAY
if MMMnum==06 set MMM=JUN
if MMMnum==07 set MMM=JUL
if MMMnum==08 set MMM=AUG
if MMMnum==09 set MMM=SEP
if MMMnum==10 set MMM=OCT
if MMMnum==11 set MMM=NOV
if MMMnum==12 set MMM=DEC
