I am trying to script a program to write to a file with a variable name(AAmmddyy.dat). How can I use a .bat file to write to a variable file name, I can't find anything specific and I am so DOS rusty.

You mean getting the variable value and using it to name the file?
ren whatever.wtv %variable*
or, if the variable doesn't contain the extention:
ren whatever.wtv %variable%.abc
