A test command parameter is not valid

Hello,
Getting error "A test command parameter is not valid" when trying to run the code below under /sbin/sh
Code:
AA = "12:00"
CHK=$(date +"%H:%M")
if [ $CHK == $AA ]
then
     print "Yes"
fi

Getting 2 errors:
1) "AA: not found"
2) "Specify a parameter with this command" [in line 3 ]

Thanks,
IS
