Hi Everyone,
I have this batch file as below. I need to update this to get the date without setting it as I have done in the second line of my code below.
I want it to display automatically when I run this batch file every time. The date should be in yyyymmdd format.
I tried lot of options with date parameters but couldn't get this right.
Can you please help me with this..
*** Batch file ********************************************
set naic=1211610
set filedatetime=18/10/2016 11:03
set date=%filedatetime:~6,4%%filedatetime:~3,2%%filedatetime:~0,2%
set filename=tnvin_%date%%naic%.txt
set tnpath=C:\tnvintrailer\
SQLCMD -S SQLSANDBOX -E -Q "[SouthernTrust].[dbo].[P_tntr] "
bcp [St].[dbo].[TmpTNVINTRInfo] out "%tnpath%%filename%" -c -T -S SQLSANDBOX
SQLCMD -S SQLSANDBOX -E -Q "DROP TABLE [St].[dbo].[TmpTNVINTRInfo]"

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), GETDATE(), 120) AS VARCHAR(10)),'-',''),':',''),' ','');

I think the code is for SQL. I need it to be done in batch script as shown in my question.

Thanks.

Slightly neater I suppose 😉

Add this to your stored procedure and keep a single call to the database instead of 3.

DECLARE @Bcp NVARCHAR(200);

SET @Bcp = N'bcp [St].[dbo].[TmpTNVINTRInfo] out "C:\tnvintrailer\tnvin_' + CONVERT(NCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112 ) + N'1211610.txt" -c -T -S SQLSANDBOX';

EXEC xp_cmdshell @Bcp;

DROP TABLE [St].[dbo].[TmpTNVINTRInfo];
