Shell Programming and Scripting

I think this has to do with the quoting, I just feel I've been looking at it too long. Thanks ~T

prompt> cat my.awk
BEGIN{"date +%d%b%Y.%H%M%S" | getline sDate}
{
if (substr($0,151,1) ~ /6/ )
print >> sDate".NEW_ORDER.dat"
# print >> sDate # note this works to output the contents to sDate, but want filename with the date like the print statement above
else
print >> sDate".OLD_ORDER.dat"
}

prompt> nawk -f my.awk Testfile

Desired output is two files:
21Apr2009.184534.NEW_ORDER.dat
21Apr2009.184534.OLD_ORDER.dat

This is what I am getting:
prompt> nawk -f my.awk Testfile >
nawk: syntax error at source line 7
context is
print >> sDate >>> ".NEW_ORDER.dat" <<<
nawk: illegal statement at source line 7

Code:

print >> (sDate ".OLD_ORDER.dat")

YEAH!!!! That was the exact solution. Thank you!!! -
