I have a field code that returns a month name, like April. I was to also
display in my document just the first 3 characters of the field code, or in
this case, APR. Can I do that without creating a second field code?

It depends on what type of field code your field is, but let's suppose
it's a REF field. Then one approach is to use a nested field like this:

{ QUOTE "{ REF myfield } 2010" \@MMM }

(where each pair of {} are the "special field braces" that you can
insert using ctrl-F9).
