Just a snippet of code where I use the & variable to rename an import file
--create file name
SET DATE ddmm
SET VAR vdate = (CTXT(#DATE))
SET DATE DD/MM/YYYY
-- Create the Run type
SET VAR vrunname = runname IN wqrun WHERE runtype = .vrun
SET VAR vrunstamp = (.vdate+.vrun)
-- Create the file name
SET VAR vrenfile = (.vdate+.vrunname)
RENAME kordss*.csv &vrenfile
The result is a file named '12/12/2020AMrun.csv'
Hope that's the sort of thing your looking for..
