Scheduler Usage

Suppose my file in X location is ->ABCD.txt

Move to Y location with appending timestamp.
like
ABCD.20140509094707.txt

What i did

But the out put I am getting in job after difined a variable is
ABCD.20140509094707txt

Where variable defined is
%%TIMEST=%%$DATE.%%TIME
And command is
move D:\ABCD.txt D:\DD\ABCD.%%TIMEST.txt

But the output is ABCD.20140509094707txt

so file type is not recognized as .txt as "." missing before "txt"

Thanks for your valuable inputs here
I am working on Control-M V8

could you try something like:

move D:\ABCD.txt D:\DD\ABCD."%%TIMEST".txt

or

move D:\ABCD.txt D:\DD\ABCD."%TIMEST%".txt

or set a cmd variable like:

set ts=%%TIMEST & move D:\ABCD.txt D:\DD\ABCD."%ts%".txt

i don't have the enviroment to test right now, the last one will work as you are using "move" so you are using a windows based os.

Thanks Carlos,

It working fine for me.

Thanks once again

I'm glad I could be of assistance

Hi SKSKD,

Use two consecutive « . » to include one in your file name.

Your command is :
move D:\ABCD.txt D:\DD\ABCD.%%TIMEST..txt

Regards

If you are using the CM for Advanced File Transfer to move the file use below

for D:\DD\$$AFTFILE$$.%%$DATE.%%TIME for ABCD.yyyymmddhhmmss.txt (need dot after last $ sign to get the dot after ABCD)

and use D:\DD\$$AFTFILE$$%%$DATE.%%TIME for ABCDyyyymmddhhmmss.txt but I think you are using some kind of script.
