here is the syntax of date command

date MMDDhhmmCCYY

where MM=two digit MONTH
DD=two digit DAY
hh=two digit MILITARY time (1pm = 13)
mm=two digit minute
CC=two digit CENTURY (20 or possibly 19)
YY=two digit YEAR

so you need to give as follows

date 0128hhmm2010

Good luck

For info on shell variables, try
man

Look for "parameter" or "variable".

Maybe

echo $DATE

is what you should have been doing
