Compute a variable with the text you want and assign this variable as
file name.

You can create a calc field that generates the current date in a format that can be used with file names.

Month ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) & "-" & Day ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) "-" & Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) )

This will give you a XX-XX-XXXX format that can be added to a filename

Or you can use the ISO 8601 stadanrd for the dates:
