You can't append the date to the end of the file name; extensions are only
three characters.  You want to insert the date before the last period in the
filename string.

Subject: [sqr-users] Renaming oubound file


Hi,

   I am trying to rename my outbound file from Training.txt  to  
Trainingxxxxxxxx where x's is MMDDYYYY. i am trying to do something like 
this:

LET $SYSTEMDATE = EDIT(SUBSTR($sysdatetime,1,11),'MMDDYYYY')
display $SYSTEMDATE                                 ! here i am able to get 
11172004

let #ret_cd = rename($File2,$NEW_FILENAME)
   if #ret_cd <> 0
      show 'Error Renaming ' $File2 ' to ' $New_fileName ' Ret_cd = ' 
#ret_cd
  end-if

where my $file2 is 'C:\Documents and Settings\lkra\Desktop\Training.txt'.

I am getting the following error:-

ERROR Renaming C:\Documents and Settings\lkra\Desktop\Training.txt to 
C:\Documents and Settings\lkra\Desktop\Training.txt11172004 Ret_cd = 
13.000000

Thanks
