Mike,

You will probably need to parse out the relevant Date information..

code:

BREAK ON CLS
?@Date
; -- Assuming @Date yields, 2001/11/15
 $Mo = SUBSTR(@date, 6, 2)
 $Day = SUBSTR(@date, 9, 2)
 $Year = SUBSTR(@date, 1, 4)
 $Date = "$Mo$Day$Year"
?$Date

Once you get this, change the following line to be -

$newname="j:\drs1\drs1backup\$Date.log"

HTH,

- Kent
