mv Filename variable to another filename
Anyone who can assist :

I am trying to pass the group vairiable to a filename:
rpt_tsavegrp=/export/legato/scripts/$group_savegrp_rpt.$dat

It will not pass to variable.
Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks



# This script sends email that save group completed.
#!/bin/ksh
dat=`date +%m%d%y`
rdat=`date +%m/%d/%y`
savegrp=/export/legato/scripts/savegrp_rpt.tmp
rpt_tsavegrp=/export/legato/scripts/$group_savegrp_rpt.$dat
cat $* > $savegrp
group=`head -1 $savegrp |grep -v -i media |awk '{print $4,$5}'`>/dev/null
#/usr/ucb/mail -s "$group Test Savegroup Report - $rdat" < $savegrp
#cp $savegrp $rtp_savegrp
