That would be the DESNAME system parameter. I'm not sure you can set its value dynamically within the Reports Builder, so you'll have to create it in a program (Oracle Form, perhaps?) which calls that report.

Adding SYSDATE value (to a local variable which is later used in command you use to call the report) is trivial:

l_desname := 'my_report_' || to_char(sysdate, 'yyyymmdd') ||'.pdf';
