Generate a new DISC TEXT file name with every run

[Herald.Kaffka at westfraser.com]

Do a define from the calling command file/screen,

Command file example:
$ SYSTIME               = F$TIME()
$ DATE                  = F$CVTIME("",,"YEAR")  + -
                          F$CVTIME("",,"MONTH") + -
                          F$CVTIME("",,"DAY")
$!
$ DEFINE/NOLOG TESTNAME SYS$LOGIN:TESTNAME_'DATE'.TXT


$ show log testname
   "TESTNAME" = "SYS$LOGIN:TESTNAME_20140401.TXT" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)


pretty much the same thing within quick, just have to format sightly 
differently.

Hi,
       Is there a way of having the system generate a new Text file name 
with every run of a report.

Eg:

Set report device disc name TESTNAME  plus < SYSDATE>                    ; 
File name  TESTNAME-20030401.txt

In that way the first text file will not be overwritten when  the report 
runs automatically every day. Or
is there a way of doing this with COPY or RENAME also.

Thanks in advance. --
