[Download-List] Date Stamping HOLD File Name?

I tried using @YEAR at MONTH@DAY in front of a literal filename and it worked. For example, @YEAR at MONTH@DAY.STUDENTS.CSV would resolve to 070905.STUDENTS.CSV. We are still using 7.11 and even though the documentation says that @YEAR should be four digits, it comes out as only two. Still, it does work.
