Date in Macro or Clip

Is there any way of putting the date in a macro without typing it in
every day, or better still put the current date in a clip?
I need to put it in the form "(30Dec08)" without spaces.
Perhaps it's asking too much, but other editors can put the date
in a clip, e.g. NoteTab.

There's a menu command to insert the current date:
Edit->Insert->Short Date, which you can record as part of the macro.
If you set the short date format in Control Panel to "dd-MMM-yy", you'll get a date like "30-Dec-08", which you can edit in the macro to get the output you want.

Thank you, Andrew. I'll give it a try.
The dash separators probably won't matter.
