Embed date in SQLBase unload filename

Flame — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:47:44 +0000

I have a scheduled task to runs a backup script each night using a program called SQL_Talk for Windows version 9.0.1. I am using this program to unload a SQLBase database each night for backup purposes. I have a separate script for each night of the week. Below is the Monday script:

	
set server server1;
connect testdb 1 sysadm/XXXXXX;
update statistics on database;
check database;
commit;
SET BULK ON;
unload database z:\backups\VIS_Monday.UNL;
disconnect all;
EXIT;

Instead of unloading to a file named VIS_Monday.UNL is it possible to change the script to embed the date of the unload in the filename? For example VIS_Feb232009 ?

This would make for fewer scripts and I would not have to manually embed the dates in the file names.

If not, is there another scripting program that will allow this to be done?
Thanks!
