Hello Experts,

Problem is fixed and now it's working, am posting the new code.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

set -x

YESTERDAY_DATE()
{
        date '+%d %m %Y' |
        {
                read DAY MONTH YEAR
                DAY=`expr "$DAY" - 1 + 100 | cut -c2-3`
                case "$DAY" in
                        0)
                                MONTH=`expr "$MONTH" - 1`
                                case "$MONTH" in
                                        0)
                                                MONTH=12
                                                YEAR=`expr "$YEAR" -1`
                                                ;;
                                esac
                        DAY=`cal $MONTH $YEAR | grep . | fmt -1 | tail -1`
                esac

                vardt=$?
                if [ $vardt -ne 0 ];then
                        echo "ERROR DURING SPOOLING PREVIOUS DAY DATE."
                        exit 1
                fi

                YDATE=${MONTH}${DAY}${YEAR}
                echo ${YDATE}
        }
}

Y_DT=`YESTERDAY_DATE`

setted the echo which is passing the value of the variable to outside and calling the function and capturing the value of the same in the new variable.
