Question using 2 variables in a "for" statement

Thank you everyone!
I've been testing all week (with success) using a derivative of scrutinizer's code. I only needed a small change to my data structure; renamed the destination directory from "july_2015" etc. to "07_2015. Allowing me to reuse the $M variable.

Code:
sdunoa01# time for MDP in "07 14" "07 13"
> do  
> set $MDP
> M=$1 D=$2
> ./outsdunoa01qbb5 $M $D 15; mv *15${M}${D}* ${M}_2015; rm temp*; ls
> done



Many thanks, Cheers

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
