add a column equal to variable?

Hi - is it possible to add a column to my script load equal to a variable I already set? I set vEndDate equal to the date I will be using to run the script and would like to join a Date column to the final table where Date is equal to vEndDate. I can then store the table down as part of a new QVD and know which date each set of data it is from after it concatenates. Date is not a part of any of my load files so I was hoping to create it in the script and join it to my final table. Any suggestions?

you can add the values from variables into your tables

here is an example

load

field1,

field2,

'$(vEndDate)' as vEndDate

Yes you can. Try this script:

LET vNow = Chr(39) & Today() & Chr(39);

Table:

LOAD Date($(vNow)) as Date

AutoGenerate 1;
