RE: Export question - appending date to dmp file

RK - The system nicely timestamps the file automatically for you. Isn't that good enough? Another idea - on Unix, tar several files and it will keep the system timestamps on them.

Hello All,  

I am trying to append date to dmp file while exporting it , no luck any ideas..  

exp userid=user/passwd imp file=EXPDATA$DATE.dmp  

(I need to have system date and if possible time (TIMESTAMP ) appended to it
.)  

TIA
Cheers
RK
