Answer 1

You can define a variable TODAYS_DATEas follows:

%default TODAYS_DATE `date +%Y-%m-%d`;

and refer to it every time you need by pasting $TODAYS_DATEin a line:

'/data/mydata/$TODAYS_DATE'

Be sure not to print errors. You can also use %declare, but you will lose the flexibility to override a value from the command line or parameter file.

Answer 2

You can use ToString(CurrentTime(),'yyyy-MM-dd') as date:chararraya script in the swing .
