\jobname yields the filename (in my last year's TeX Live ConTeXt). On May 15, 2012, at 11:08 PM, wrote:

I want to generate a document i.d. from the .tex source filename and the current date and put it into the footer.

This might be possible already, but I could find it by searching the wiki for filename and document it, or rather too much since filename is mainly used for command line parameters, etc.

I know the \currentdate will give the current system date part that I can use, but is there any \filename type command for the master filename, so that a document i.d. could be generated automatically.

e.g. \filename\currentdate
