AIX file read for file name script

Hi al,

Im trying to write something to read a date file and append each date to my file output name.

Datefile:
Code:
20091001
20091015

Final output file I would like is:
Code:
DATA_20091001_20091015.xls

The script Im trying, but not working, is
Code:
n=`wc -l < dates_yymmdd.txt`
i=1
while [ "$i" -le "$n" ]
do
line=`cat dates_yymmdd.txt | head -$i | tail -1`
echo $line
datevariable$i=$line
i=`expr $i + 1`

done

cp DATA.xls DATA_`echo $datevariable1`_`echo $datevariable2`.xls
