Export as XLS with Date Stamp at end of file name

This command may be good for a script. In the command, it exports your data as a .xls file, and adds a date stamp to the name of the file. In the command below, the file is being being named TEST and saved in C:\

COPY TO (FORCEEXT("c:\test"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+PADL(ALLT(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0"),"xls")) TYPE XLS

COPY TO (FORCEEXT("c:\test"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+PADL(ALLT(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0"),"xls")) TYPE XLS

AccuZIP's customer service is great. It keeps us from having down time and I'm always able to get a quick answer. don't have to worry about the size of the order I'm working with a client on. Most times, AccuZIP employees know more than the USPS employees. I've been able to navigate the lack of government employee training, which saves time, money and headaches.
