Nicola,
There a couple of ways you could do this. You could use a text element
instead of a data element and do something like:
<VALUE-OF>row["number"];</VALUE-OF><VALUE-OF format="MM/dd/YYYY"
row["date"]</VALUE-OF>
or
in your data item expression do something like:
importPackage( Packages.java.text );
var sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/YYYY", reportContext.getLocale());
var myformatteddate = sdf.format( row["date"]);
row["number"]+' of ' + myformatteddate.

I'd lean toward doing it on the SQL side.
If you have to do it in the BIRT side, you'll need to reference the Java SimpleDateFormat library (I think) and make calls using those methods. Someone else can probably point you to examples.
