or if that doesn't work:
:exec 'w' expand('%') . '.' . thedate
where
:exe[cute]
executes the ex-command obtained by concatenating the
expressions given as operands (if more than one
expression, as above where there are two, separate them
with one space each, as with ":echo").
expand('%')
returns the pathfilename of the current editfile
.
(between strings) is the "concatenation" operator

At any given moment, an arrow must be either where it is or where it is
not. But obviously it cannot be where it is not. And if it is where
it is, that is equivalent to saying that it is at rest.
