Putting the data in a workfile create line of code

[miorinnovo]

Hi

I have a program that runs creates a workfile, and I would like to be able to just save everything I do everyday and start fresh the next day. Is there a way to name the workfile using today's date automatically (i.e. without the save as and typing in the date)?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

%filename = "workfile_" + @strnow("YYYY-MM-DD") wfsave %filename

Thanks!

Here's a follow up. I had it saving to a specific location before, but it doesn't do that anymore. Do you know how to make that tweak so it saves in a location of my choosing?


I was using:

Code: Select all

create(page=annual) r:\\Eviewsfiles\Eviews a 1981 2018

Code: Select all

%filename = "r:\EViewsfiles\EViews\workfile_" + @strnow("YYYY-MM-DD") wfsave %filename

That's awesome, thanks again.

By the way, is there a way to get a similar type of automated naming from the prg file when I save it?

No.
