mkdir DD

That will work. But it creates a file named YYYY.
Thanks for the reply. But I didn't mean to create a file inside directory DD/MM. I need to create a file in the current working dir where the name of the file should be "xxxx_cur_date", where the current date format should be 'DD/MM/YYYY' instead of 'DD-MM-YYYY', which I able to create using the command I posted above.
