Cannot populate a date picker via textbox (format issue?)

Hi all,

 

I need your kind help cuz currently I am trying to scrape last month's data from a website on a monthly basis.

For example, on Feb1, 2023 I will select Jan1,2023 ~ Jan31,2023 from the date picker and copy the data.

My PAD program is up and running without issue if I set up Populate text field on web page with 'Jan 1,2023' or 'Jan012023'. However, if I try to pick a date automatically by GetCurrentDateTime and calculate accordingly, issue occurs...

 

Here is how it is like:

Formatted the date as 'MMMMddyy' -> it shows "1月012023" which is because of the ja-jp settings i guess.

then I wrote a python script converting "1月012023" to "Jan012023" and guess it should work...

but the website was like

and the date picker:

brilliance_2-1677046978681.png

 

 

Let me attach my PAD program here too.

Anyone kindly help or suggest??? So much appreciated!
