Why would an HP-UX user wish to use a Tru64
"man" page for info like this? (And if he
_did_ want a Tru64 "man" page, why would he
want an old, obsolete one rather than the
latest one?)

That was a Tru64 man page, accept no substitutes:

To stick it in a variable do

VAR=$(date +%a" "%b" "%e)
print $VAR
Tue Apr 7

So, what are you trying to accomplish with the awk statement? What results do you expect?

>awk '/'$sdate'/ {x++} /ORA-/ && x' alert.txt

If you want to find lines with the date then start printing lines with "ORA-", you could do:
awk -vvar="$sdate" '$0 ~ var {x++} /ORA-/ && x'

You can't stutter quotes if $sdata has white space. You must quote $sdata if you want to echo it, since it has multiple spaces.
Since you are using a variable and not a constant RE, you must use the ~ operator.
