Date in filename from crontab

Hi,
on AIX
The following
Code:
echo "rr" > myfile_$(date +"%m_%d_%Y").log

gives:
Code:
myfile_10_23_2019.log

But in crontab:
Code:
00 03 * * 1-6 /u01/script.sh >/tmp/myfile_$(date +"%m_%d_%Y").log 2>&1

gives:
Code:
myfile_Wed Oct 23 03:00:00 CEST 2019

How can one have:

Code:
myfile_10_23_2019.log

when running from crontab?

Thanks.
