You either need to pass the 'stamp' in as a job parameter (we do this) and then use #it# in the name, or create a constant filename and then rename it in the O/S after job. It's been discussed here a bajillion times.

Usually a sequence starts with a user variables activity. In that activity create a new row and give the name as "date" and on the right side give value as 'out_':DSjobStartdate( this is DSmacro):'.txt'. Now in the output file name use "#uservariable activity name.date#'. If this process looks weird you can directly use as a parameter called directly form sequencer
