To append date and time before file in batch script, it will work

set "hr=%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6%" set "filename=%date%_%hr%_response_report.csv" echo >> %filename%

If the hour is less than 10, then you get a space in your name. Names with spaces must be quoted.

ren "d:\Folder_Log\log.txt" "log-%date:~0,2%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~6,4%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.txt"
