Insert Current Date in Output Table

[#1]

JSL Gurus!

I need your help trying to change the name of a JOIN output table.

I'm in the process of scripting a JOIN from last month's file and this month's file. I'd like the output to be renamed to "Main Table" and the current month (201706).

Ex: "Main Table 201706"

Is this possible?

To be discussed later, when I get to next month I'll make that new file (Main Table 201706) the current dt, join 201707 and output table "Main Table 201707" and so on...

Any help is appreciated!

Here's one way to do it.  I created a little table to use as an example.

dt = New Table( "Untitled 10", Add Rows( 2 ), 
		New Column( "Column 1", Numeric, Continuous, Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [1, 2] )
	)
);

tbl_name = "Main Table " || substr(format(today(), "yyyymmdd"), 1, 6);

dt << set name(tbl_name);

Thanks pmroz, that works!!!

FYI,

The 

dt << set name(tbl_name);

message and all other data table messages that are available are documented with examples in:
