RE: DOS question

["Johnson, George" <GJohnson@xxxxxxx>]

        I used these tricks to make time/date dated directories for Oracle
disk based backups on NT4 servers. If my memory serves me correctly you need
to set TIME and DATE using the the time and date commands from the O/S.

        Try:  
                Dates:
                for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %%A in ('date /T') do set
DT=%%C_%%B_%%A
        
                (Adjust C B A for your local date convention C B A is UK
"day month year")

                Times:
                for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=/: " %%A in ('time /T') do set
TM=%%A-%%B

While quite an accomplishment considering DOS batch shortcomings, env.
variables %date% and %time% are unknowns on NT 4, therefore 
the trick can not be successfully applied in WinNT4-Win2K3 range.

After let's say "interesting" day yesterday at customer's site  
and the way some environment variables are/aren't available with 
scheduled scripts on NT4, I am more convinced than ever that any 
reliance on Windows DOS batch-ing and/or native (*.wsf, *.vbs, 
*.js) scripting should be avoided like a plague...
