Use braces around the variable names worked perfectly.

no that did not work. only the HHMM appeared in the file name,

I used

DTSTAMP=$(date "+%Y%m%d")
HMSTAMP=$(date "+%H%M")
cp /fdb/prod/fdbadm/data/nassst115d01.txt...

i want to copy a filea.dat to a file name in the format
of filea_yyyymmdd_hhmi.dat

using something like DTSTAMP=$(date "+%Y%m%d"),
which puts it in format filea_yyyymmdd.dat

thanks for the quick response

of profit_YYYYMMDDHHmm.txt ...
