Integrate Execution Date in File Name

If a workflow is executed on a regular basis you might want to add the execution date to the file name to avoid overwriting the file from the previous day.
This workflow snippet shows how you can do so by adding the execution date to the file name automatically, before creating a path flow variable with the new file name.
