File renaming with date timestamp

Hi,

This is my script:

#! /usr/bin/ksh
cd /app/chdata/workflow/suppl/esoutput/spd/testing
for file in /app/chdata/workflow/suppl/esoutput/spd/testing
do
sort *.txt | awk '{ file=substr($0,1,2)".txt"; print >> file }'
mv *.txt file_`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.txt
done


Here, I am trying to rename all the files say *.txt to *_date.txt.

However, Its throwing an error.

Please help.

Regards,
Sunitha
