How to convert string(variable) into date( epoch) in ksh on HPUX machine?

Hi all,
I have used a bash script which ultimately converts a string into date using date --date option:
Code:
 
DATE=$DATE" "$TIME" "`date +%Y` //concatenating 2 strings
TMRW_DATE=`date --date="$DATE" +"%s"` //applying date command on string and getting the unixtime
