Queries on KSH scripts

[Henry Chua]

Hi,

I started my scipt with this on a HPUX10.20b,
"
#!/bin/ksh

#Date Initialisation
YY=`date +%Y`
MM=`date +%m`
DD=`date +%d`
HH=`date +%H`
MI=`date +%M`
SS=`date +%S` "

But the system returns "
YY=2005: Command not found.
MM=01: Command not found.
DD=13: Command not found.
HH=14: Command not found.
MI=05: Command not found.
SS=32: Command not found.
"
when I ran the script.. anyone know why this is so?

THanks!!

I cut'n'paste yout exact script, put it in a new file and
ran it on HP-UX 11i and it ran without any of the
above mentioned error/warnings. Looks like something
is different on HP-UX 10.20. Just run "date +%Y"
at command line and see if it runs.

It should work.

Just check if they work individually:
$date
$YY=`date +%Y`
$echo $YY
