how to create a directory with datestamp as its filename in jenkins pipeline?

Question

bat 'set OutputFolderName=%date:~12,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%'
bat 'mkdir %OutputFolderName%'

These two commands should give the correct output but they aren't working. This is the error I got:

Answer 1

Try multiline bat command as follows:

bat """
    set OutputFolderName=%date:~12,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
    mkdir %OutputFolderName%
"""
