export bat file

[sm5999]

Hi,

I have written one bat file for exports the database everyday. I want to know what is the exact command to set the sysdate in dos
bat program. So same variable i can use for file name.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a DOS expert so there is proabably an easier was to do this but I do the following.

1. I have a text file call setdate.txt which contains the following:

SET TODAY=

2. I have a bat file called getdate.bat which contains the following:

date /t > tmp.txt
type setdate.txt > setdate.bat
type tmp.txt >> setdate.bat
del tmp.txt
call setdate.bat

When the getdate.bat file is called from another script it creates an temporary batch file which sets a date variable (TODAY)

I hope that helps, but like I said there may be a better way to do it (more of a Unix guy myself, thankfully )

Hi,

Easiest way wud be, Call VB script program which creates a file and then dump the output of the batch program in that file.

Abhay.
