I wonder what the purpose of the loop is.
Do you want to search and loop over the found files?
Then use a glob search! For example
Code:
for pfn in "$3"/JAN_DAT_TES*.csv
do
  # the shell puts the glob pattern if there was no match, so ensure that the file exists
  [ -f "$pfn" ] || continue
  # fn=basename(pfn) achieved with a builtin modifier
  fn=${pfn##*/}
  echo "do something with $pfn or $fn"
done
