Hi,
I am not sure exactly what the string $InputfileName-$mdt.csv would look like, could You give us an example? But to me it looks as if You are trying to print the 7th field of the string, and unless it has a lot of spaces in it, maybe the 7th field is empty? Maybe You mean to do

filetime=`cat $InputfileName-$mdt.csv | awk '{print $7 }'`

filetime=`awk '{print $7 }' $InputfileName-$mdt.csv`

?
What I mean is You want to get the 7th field of the contents/the line in that file? Just an idea...
Or maybe You want

filetime=`ls -l $InputfileName-$mdt.csv | awk '{print $7 }'`
