[Solved] How to get date value by variable?
Hello All,
I have one question:

Code:
> cat abc.txt
BrSp_IVR_Daily_Report_last_day_,date +'%Y-%m-%d',jim,969-PP-A,DAILY,/home/jim/reports/,YES
BrSp_Status_Movements_C_,date +'%Y-%m-%d',jim,969-PP-A,DAILY,/home/jim/reports/,YES

> cat akk.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
get_data()
{
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=","

while read fname dfrmt uname serv occr fpath toclient
do
DT=`${dfrmt}`
ssh ${uname}@${serv} -n "ls -lrt ${fpath}${fname}*${DT}*" | awk -F' ' '{print $6"-"$7"-"$8","$5","$NF}' | awk -F/ '{print $1""$NF}' 1>>xyz.txt
done < abc.txt
IFS=$OLDIFS
}
get_data

When I execute akk.ksh it fetches the data, but gives this error..
How cat I get date value in $DT variable?

Code:
date +'%Y-%m-%d': not found [No such file or directory]

I am new to UNIX.

px_date2string

PX_DATE2STRING(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 PX_DATE2STRING(3)

NAME

       PX_date2string -- Convert paradox date into formated string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       char * PX_date2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, long date, const char *format)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates	a  string  representation  of  a  paradox  date  as  specified	in  the  parameter format.  The date must be either retrieved with
       PX_get_data_long(3)  after  calling  PX_get_record(3)  or  by  simply  using  the  long	value  in  the	pxval_t  struct  as  returned	by
       PX_retrieve_record(3).  The function uses internally the PX_timestamp2string(3) function.  The format string may contain all chars as docu-
       mented with PX_timestamp2string(3), though only those concerning the date will produce resonable results.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns pointer to string on success and NULL on failure.

SEE ALSO

       PX_timestamp2string(3), PX_time2string(3)
