Load using variable in .csv filename

Hi

I am trying to use a variable in the .csv file I intend to load on a daily basis, and because of this, I am using today() as a reference. 

But for some reason, nothing I do makes me able to use today() in the filename I want to load. 

 

Let vCreatedDate = date(today(), 'YYYY-MM-DD');
Let vFileName = 'PropertyErrorList_$(vCreatedDate).csv';

AMM_Property_error_list:
LOAD 
     id, 
     message, 
     propertyNumber
FROM
[c:\property_error_list\Data\$(vFileName)] 
(txt, unicode, embedded labels, delimiter is ';', msq);

Try it in this way:

Let vFile = 'PropertyErrorList_' & date(today(), 'YYYY-MM-DD') & '.csv';

AMM_Property_error_list:
LOAD  id, message, propertyNumber
FROM [c:\property_error_list\Data\$(vFile)]
(txt, unicode, embedded labels, delimiter is ';', msq);
