Another way would be to rename the file after generating. This way you would not have to change any of your macros. You can generate date info using Set Fields and the MONTH, DAY, and YEAR functions and pass them into a routine that renames the output file.

The report has a name and it overwrites the previous report every day. Is there a way to have the name of the report end in something like TIMESTAMP so it does not overwrite the older report?
