Good choice. I only want to add that a DEFAULT should be specified or when
the format is assigned it must be done with a length long enough to
accommodate the longest month. In other words you will have to state:

format mydate reportdate15.

You could alternately specify a default length while creating your
customized format.

proc format ;
picture myown (default=15)
low - high = '%B %Y'
(datatype=date)
;
run ;

Perhaps you can get by simply by displaying the date twice, with different
built-in formats. For example,

data _null_;
mydate = today();
put ' Today is in the month' mydate monname. + 1
mydate year. ;
run;

displays

Today is in the month December 2006
