What in unix command terms is "capture"? Please give examples of commands which work.

What Operating System and version are you using? If the target server is different, what does it run?
What Shell do you prefer?

Reading between the lines I guess that this is a wildcard question. The solution depends on context.

Code:
man date

       %k     hour ( 0..23)
       %M     minute (00..59)
       %S     second (00..60)

I'm try to get a file from server X with a shell script.
This file in server X have the format "......YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.tar.gz".
I defined one variable DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` butI can never to get the file.
How I can solve the time?.
Best regards.

It probably has the timestamp based on the file's creation time. Unless that file has precreated files for each possible second during the day you won't get any files by using the current time.

Yes Perderabo, this is the question.
I think not use %H%M%S and to create a variable and set value greater zeros (set -gt zeros) and so on. I don't know.
I'll try other options, when I have the solution I will write in this forum.
Many thanks for your collaboration and patience.
Roberto.
