Example

Here 1st, we create a function as "getMonthsInLet" for getting a month in the letter means if January, then "A"; if February, then "B" accordingly as below.

Code

 function getMonthsInLet(mid) {
                if (mid == 0) {
                    return "A";
                } else if (mid == 1) {
                    return "B";
                } else if (mid == 2) {
                    return "C";
                } else if (mid == 3) {
                    return "D";
                } else if (mid == 4) {
                    return "E";
                } else if (mid == 5) {
                    return "F";
                } else if (mid == 6) {
                    return "G";
                } else if (mid == 7) {
                    return "H";
                } else if (mid == 8) {
                    return "I";
                } else if (mid == 9) {
                    return "J";
                } else if (mid == 10) {
                    return "K";
                } else if (mid == 11) {
                    return "L";
                }
            }

var RandNo = 'PG' + Date1.getDate().toString().padStart(2, "0") + getMonLet + Date1.getFullYear().toString().substr(-2) + Date1.getHours() + Date1.getMinutes() + Date1.getSeconds() + Date1.getMilliseconds();
$('.TransNo').text(RandNo);
$('.hdnTransNo').val(RandNo);
