Seems like your code is working fine, albeit with some slight modifications. Try to incorporate the changes and let me know the result.

Your code, modified slightly:
Code:
 
$ cat file2
startdate=1
enddate=12
a=$startdate
if [[ $a -lt 10 ]]
   then a=0$a
   fi
while [ $a -le $enddate ] ## Changed -lt to le
do
   ##DO OTHER THINGS HERE
   printf "\na=${a}\n\n"
   startdate=`expr $startdate + 1`
   a=$startdate
   if [ $a -lt 10 ]
     then a=0$a
   fi
done
$

OUTPUT:

Code:
 
$ ./file2
a=01

a=02

a=03

a=04

a=05

a=06

a=07

a=08

a=09

a=10

a=11

a=12
 
$

HTH, Smilie
