Abstract: I receive several (ir)regular deliveries of data files for the on-going development of a panel data set. Both the delivering agency systems and the targets of our research group change over time -- by the hour and/or by the year. I need to be able to identify from the filenames which Stata .dta files were created with which.do files leaving which .log files. I use the Stata shell facility and DOS rename to attach an ado generated global macro date-tag and global macro hour-minute-tag.
