I am trying to write (what I thought was) a simple macro, to wit:

query actlog -
begindate=%1/%2/%3 begintime=00:00:00 -
enddate=%1/%2/%3 endtime=23:59:59 -
> /adsm/activity_logs/%3%2%1

for the obvious reason of dumping a calendar day's activity log to a flat file
for future use in whatever way amuses me.

The substitution of the variables into the two date fields works fine, but in
the last substitution, where it's trying to create an output file name of, say
19991215, it's not substituting, so it creates a file called %3%2%1.

I tried breaking up the variables, i.e. %3.%2.%1, and also adding a leading
non-variable to the name, i.e. log%3.%2.%1, neither of which worked any better.

What part of this is it that I don't understand?
