Date variable definition
thank you for the reply, I get what you want to say fine, just one request:
what is the script command to identify a date variable? is there a variable called date?
I tried something like date i, and dim i as date but it didn't work.
I also tried "date -d ${i} +"%y%m%d"" but it said that i is not a command
can you please help me on that?
