Try sourcing your .profile in the script. Cron does not automatically source profiles. Different shells use different profiles. I'm assuming you have the Korne shell as your default since you are using ksh in your script. So my example is directed toward the use of the Korne shell as a default shell.
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Source the users profile.
#
# NOTE: There is a space between the first dot (.) and the tilde (~)
#
. ~/.profile
date_var=`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`
memory_file_name=Mem-"$date_var".csv
