Hi,

I am using the following shell script command to rename backkup files.

Code: 
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ('Date /T') DO REN finance_pnl_analysis.mdc %%C-%%A-%%B-finance_pnl_analysis.mdc

It works perfectly on one server in a command file for a different backup. When I run the same command on another server I get an error.

Code: 
%%A was unexpected at this time.


does anyone know why I am getting this error?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards, Paul
