Mv command in for loop - not working
HI Folks -

I'm very frustrated - I'm trying to execute a verys imple for loop and rename the files if they exist.

here is my loop :

Code:
ydate=`TZ=aaa24 date +%m%d`   
CR_YR=$(date "+%Y")
echo $ydate
echo ${CR_YR}

cd /hypbin/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/item/itmsales

for A in AWID601 GSCD601
do
    if ls $A${CR_YR}* 1> /dev/null 2>&1
    then
        echo "$A is available for processing"
        mv ${A}${CR_YR}*.TXT ${A}${ydate}.TXT
    else
        echo "$A does not exist - data import process aborted"
        exit 1
    fi  
done

But it says the files exist, however getting an error when trying to "mv" them.

Code:
10/10/17
StartTime:
04:15:40 AM
1009
2017
AWID601 is available for processing
Usage: mv [-I] [ -d| -e] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src target
   or: mv [-I] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src1 ... srcN directory
GSCD601 is available for processing
Usage: mv [-I] [ -d| -e] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src target
   or: mv [-I] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src1 ... srcN directory
$

I can execute the mv command manually on each file with success. Do you see anything off here?

File names I'm trying to rename:
GSCD6012017TEST.TXT
AWID6012017TEST.TXT

smd-loop

smd-loop(1)						 Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation					       smd-loop(1)

NAME

       smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push

SYNOPSIS

       smd-loop [-vt]

DESCRIPTION

       smd-loop  runs  smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are
       reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.

       The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields:	pull-frequency,  push-frequency  and  end-
       point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with
       # are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes,	and  smd-push  default	every  10.
       Example:

	   # pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
	     3		    10		   default

OPTIONS

       -v     Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)

       -t     Just create a template configuration file if none

FILES

       ~/.smd/loop

SEE ALSO

       mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-client(1), smd-push(1), smd-pull(1)
