Create mapkey with a variable to save a .pdf to a path and date

I would like to create a map key to save a file to the current working directory\Release with the current date. Is there a way to do this with a variable? ie  %CWD\Release\filename.%mm%dd%yy.pdf

It is possible to call an external script from within a mapkey. I think you would need to use this function in order to achieve this using a mapkey. Refer to this thread for examples.
