Hi,

in CMD you can play with redirecting of DATE output into temporary file
and SETtting a variable using input piped from this temp file.

Much simpler solution is to purchase 4NT (www.jpsoft.com)
which is very simillar to CMD but includes much more additional
functionality.
Using it, the solution could look very simillar like you wrote it:
> D:
> :SETVAR
>  Cd D:\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\
> dsmc Archive -archmc=36-MONTH-ARCHIVE -desc="Freight Archives
> for Monthend
> Prior to: %_date" D:\temp\test\*
> pause 5

or e.G. like that:

rem             remember current working directory and change to new
Directory and Disk
rem             start the archive
rem             pause if unsuccessfull
rem             wait for 5 seconds
rem             change back to original working directory
PUSHD D:\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\
DSMC Archive -archmc=36-MONTH-ARCHIVE -desc="Freight Archives  for Monthend
Prior to: %_date %_time" D:\temp\test\* -subdir=yes
IF %? GT 0      PAUSE an error occured during Archive. Press Enter to
continue.
DELAY 5
POPD
