>> put ='This is my text!'
Yup! it works fine...next is to solve the problem to put a combination of fixed text and the contents of a variable, which contains for example the date-string onmto one line.
That's just an evaluated expression there, so you can use
:put ='Today is: '.strftime('%c')
or
:let x = 3+1+4+1+5+9
:put ='sum: ' . x
or other more complex expresions.
