Yes - nothing ...
Sorry, my mistake - you need to use one of the property functions to
refer to it.
For example:
${__P(today)}
BTW, no need to edit jmeter.bat - you can pass parameters to it.
Seems you are using DOS - you cannot use `date` to get the date.
Short of writing a program, I think it's very tricky to automatically
get the date in DOS.
But for test purposes, you can of course do it manually:
jmeter -Dtoday=20050520 -n -t testplan.jmx
This will run the test plan in non-GUI mode with output to testplan.jtl
