How to add date to jil log paths

[Gerald Britton]

In my autosys jil (Windows), I have logging set up like this:

std_out_file: <servername>\autosys_log\%AUTO_JOB_NAME%-%AUTORUN%.std.out

I want to add the current date to the path, so e.g. for today that would be:


std_out_file: <servername>\autosys_log\2022-11-04\%AUTO_JOB_NAME%-%AUTORUN%.std.out


How can I get that to work? I need some way of dynamically inserting the current date in the output path.
