thanks for you reply Don,

it would be the date which is mentioned in the file below is how my config.txt file is

config.txt
---------------
Code:
ORACLE_HOME=/opt2/oracle/productc/11.2.0/dbhome_1
ORACLE_BASE=/opt2/oracle/productc/11.2.0/dbhome_1
START_DATE=31-12-2013
END_DATE=31-01-2014
PERIOD=10
FLAG=A
MAX_SIZE=1
LAST_FEED=N
SEQUENCE=1

the above is how the config.txt file is , we would read the START_DATE value from config.txt via scripting and store the same in variable
(example
Code:
START_RUN_DATE=`cat $CONFIG_FILE | grep START_DATE=|cut -f2 -d'='`
PERIOD=`cat $CONFIG_FILE | grep PERIOD=|cut -f2 -d'=' | head -1`   )

after reading this above value we need sum up like

example if
START_DATE=04-03-2014
PERIOD=10

result should be as 14-03-2014

---------- Post updated at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:01 AM ----------

forgot to update on GNU and Shell which we are using on my last post

we don't have GNU utility installed and we cannot install the same in our live environment
and we are using SunOS 5.10 Generic_147440-07 sun4v sparc sun4v

thanks
