You have to first convert the getdate() into a string... it is perhaps easier to create another variable for the resulting file name, and manipulate that variable in a script task where you can easily control the result and include error handling.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. |

Minor conversion issue within expression.
