Just to get the logics right, wouldn't your output's first line second date need to be 20101231?

Code:
awk '
{	p1=substr($0,1,24);
	p2=substr($0,25,4);
	p3=substr($0,29,4);
	p4=substr($0,33,4);
	p5=substr($0,37,4);
	p6=substr($0,40);
	for(i=0;i<=p4-p2;i++)
		{
			d=p2+i;
			if(d==p4)
				{
					p5n=p5
				}
			else
				{
					p5n="1231"
				};
			print p1 d p3 d p5n p6
		}
}'  filename

output is
Code:
HHH1000374403134389610002010010120101231110220002  N
HHH1000374403134389610002011010120111231110220002  N
