No, I meant 
fh = fopen( "d:\\newfold\\msdata.txt", "a");
where msdata is a string that is dynamically constructed in
the afl and takes input from Date()

This should prevent overwriting old files.

You can use any valid filename that you want.

Assuming that you will be looping through bars, you can just
use the 
Day(), Month(), Year() functions, then construct your file
name using 
the indexed value on a bar by bar basis.

See this library example for reference: 
http://www.amibroker.com/library/detail.php?id=1044&hilite=Y
EAR

You will, of course, have to modify it to suit your needs.
But, the 
concept of iterating through bars and accessing the
individual 
year/month/day is illustrated. Combine this with
fopen/fputs/fgets 
and you should be good to go:
