how can i save big class.jmp as a name with time string? Thanks

e.g. dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp");

Hope the script can identify the work week, and the day of week and add automatically on the name, thanks

Result i want:

save name as:

big class-ww12.1

big class-ww12.4

big class-ww12.5

All that has to be done, is to concatenate together the elements of the name that you want in the saved name

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp" );

dt << save(
	"$TEMP/" || Char( dt << get name ) || "-" ||
	Char( Week Of Year( Today() ) ) || "." || Char( Day Of Week( Today() ) ) ||
	".jmp"
);

Thanks a lot. May i ask if i want to save to below location and change a the csv file name to "new data", what should i do ? (final data name as "new data").

Location variables:
Route="C:\Users\ywu64\Desktop\1\test data\";

What should i do to change the name? and don't use big data any more.

Route="C:\Users\ywu64\Desktop\1\test data\";
 
dt << save(
Route || "New Data-" ||
Char( Week Of Year( Today() ) ) || "." || Char( Day Of Week( Today() ) ) ||
".jmp"
);

You need to study and learn the code. Making the change from my original code to this version requires no new information.
