Some comments (not necessarily in severity order or order of appearance):
- consider refraining from using variables named close to PATH (essential system variable for your session; used to locate commands!) so you don't mess up your session by accident.
- your first ACTION_TIME assignment has a syntax error in the date command.
- giving variables (date) identical names to commands may lead to confusion.
- what do you create the date variable for in the first place?
- consider using the recommended $(...) notation in lieu of the deprecated `...` for "command substitution".
- your find command won't find any of the files quoted in post#1 as the pattern in SUFFIX_ARG doesn't match.
- the test for existence is for a different file than the one actually copied, so probably pointless.
On top, the specification in post#1 is sparse by itself, and it is not improved by your second post. Why don't you take a step back, start over, and present your problem in a decent, precise, detailed way supported by samples?

variable
variable(n) Tcl Built-In Commands variable(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
variable - create and initialize a namespace variable
SYNOPSIS
variable ?name value...? name ?value?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command is normally used within a namespace eval command to create one or more variables within a namespace. Each variable name is
initialized with value. The value for the last variable is optional.
If a variable name does not exist, it is created. In this case, if value is specified, it is assigned to the newly created variable. If
no value is specified, the new variable is left undefined. If the variable already exists, it is set to value if value is specified or
left unchanged if no value is given. Normally, name is unqualified (does not include the names of any containing namespaces), and the
variable is created in the current namespace. If name includes any namespace qualifiers, the variable is created in the specified names-
pace. If the variable is not defined, it will be visible to the namespace which command, but not to the info exists command.
If the variable command is executed inside a Tcl procedure, it creates local variables linked to the corresponding namespace variables (and
therefore these variables are listed by info locals.) In this way the variable command resembles the global command, although the global
command only links to variables in the global namespace. If any values are given, they are used to modify the values of the associated
namespace variables. If a namespace variable does not exist, it is created and optionally initialized.
A name argument cannot reference an element within an array. Instead, name should reference the entire array, and the initialization value
should be left off. After the variable has been declared, elements within the array can be set using ordinary set or array commands.
