Rich,

The method described in the DPSpool documentation for generating a unique
filename based on the current date and time can be used for any report. It
isn't specific to DPSpool.

Just modify the formula to use whatever folder and file extension you want.
Remember that your filename and folder names must conform to the 8.3 DOS
specs.
