How to set song name to current date

[gwiens]

There are hints about setting the new song name to "yyyy-mm-dd_" format using "date codes". However, I have been unable to locate these codes. I have tried replacing the default "SONG _" with "{yyyy-mm-dd}_" but there is insufficient space for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction for doing this with these days codes?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. You didn't specify the machine, but if it's a DP-24/32, the song name format is set in Menu, Preferences. It's in the manual under: Various Other Functions, Setting the song name format. The auto-naming only occurs when you first create the song. I'm not sure where you saw the term 'date codes'; I'm unaware of a way of altering the actual date format.
