Dynamic datasource and datasink filename

Can I set /TestFiles/Statements<Variable with environment name>.csv in the Datasource filename and datasink filename fields?

Or so I need to put a script in there somewhere to create the filename variable (the question then becomes how to I then use that filename).

    You can use property expansion anywhere! I often use something like 
    ${projectDir}/resources/${TestStep#someVar}.csv

    So I saw a variable somewhere that was ${#env#} that was supposed to be the variable name, but when I plugged this into the filename field
    /My Directory/${#env#}/File.csv


    It didn't seem to do anything but generate an error.

    Ummmm, I think you want 
    ${#env#some_variable_name}

    Is the environment name not a variable that's accessible?
