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?

NAME
pmdate - display an offset date
SYNOPSIS
pmdate [ offset ... ] format
DESCRIPTION
pmdate displays the current date and/or time, with an optional offset.
An offset is specified with a leading sign (``+'' or ``-''), followed by an integer value, followed by one of the following ``scale'' spec-
ifiers;

PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the
file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura-
tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
