question about format for a date

[deleted_user]

Hello,
is there a way to create the following format ?
i want to obtain the display of my date like that: 12 july 1998, put i want also that my variable, if possible stay numeric (no creation of a character variable)
to quote an example, i try this:

data world_cup_france;
format date_n date11.;
date_n=14072;
run;

and now, is there a way to create the format that i want by coding by a proc format ( changing the - into blank)
changing FEB into February and the equivalent for the others months

Thank you for yours answers and really sorry for all the irish people
