including &todays_date in BOM export?

(OP)
Hello all,
  I know there are a few posts on how to export a simple BOM from an assembly, and i have read through most of them, but there is one helpful parameter i have not found.
  Does anyone know the magic parameter or a way to call the todays_date function in the BOM exporting configuration file? I have copied my config file below with &todays_date where i would like it.


%$todays_date

-------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL COST:$%[$total(COST)][8.2d]


Thanks All
