    Good morning,   
      
      set datetime=%date%%time%   
      copy "%1" "%~dpn1-%datetime%%~x1"   
      
      
   01/21  2:08 C:\tmp>batch aaa.txt   
      
   01/21  2:08 C:\tmp>set datetime=01/21/26 2:08:16.24   
      
   01/21  2:08 C:\tmp>copy "aaa.txt" "C:\tmp\aaa-01/21/26 2:08:16.24.txt"   
   The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.   
           0 file(s) copied.   
      
      
   Date is backwards, should be 20260121   
   Slashes are causing it to fail   
   Need white space : . to be replaced with a -   
      
    Thanks,
