i need to include the current day's date dynamically in the file name when ftp'ing a file via report caster. I've used the method below (which works) but it puts the date as a field within the report as well (unless I'm missing a step to exclude). Are there any other ways to do this? thanks

-SET &DATER = &YYMD ;
-TYPE &DATER
-RUN
DEFINE FILE CAR
FTP_FILENAME/A40 WITH COUNTRY = 'DCDC-Vdoxx-' || '&DATER' || '.txt' ;
END
SET ASNAMES=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT FTP_FILENAME AS DEST
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD
END

There is a disadvantage to retiring, I can't go see how I did this in the past. I know it isn't much help to say it can be done. I had to open a case when I first did this and there was something that had to be set in the Report Caster job.

Is this what you're looking for? If so, this is one way we can do it. 

 
-SET &D=&YYMD ;
-SET &FILE1='DCDC-Vdoxx-' | &D | '.TXT' ; 

FILEDEF TEST_DATA DISK "D:\your\ftp\output\path\&FILE1"

SET ASNAMES=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR MODEL DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SAVE AS TEST_DATA FORMAT COMT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, SQUEEZE=ON, FONT=COURIER, $
ENDSTYLE
END


If you want to add both date and time in the file, then use 
  
-SET &DT=&YYMD||&TOD ;

Hope this helps you!
