Error executing date script

Hi,

Seen below is a simple date script.

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

VL = `date +%m/%d`
VL1 = `TZ=GMT+24 date +%m/%d`
VL2 = `TZ=GMT+48 date +%m/%d`
VL3 = `TZ=GMT+72 date +%m/%d`
VL4 = `TZ=GMT+96 date +%m/%d`
VL5 = `TZ=GMT+120 date +%m/%d`
echo $VL
echo $VL1
echo $VL2
echo $VL3
echo $VL4
echo $VL5

But when i execute the script i am getting error as seen below.

Code:
./date.ksh[3]: VL:  not found
./date.ksh[4]: VL1:  not found
./date.ksh[5]: VL2:  not found
./date.ksh[6]: VL3:  not found
./date.ksh[7]: VL4:  not found
./date.ksh[8]: VL5:  not found

Can someone help me out here ?

Thanks

There shouldn't be any spaces before and after '=' when assigning value to a variable in unix shell script
Code:
#! /bin/ksh
VL=`date +%m/%d`
VL1=`TZ=GMT+24 date +%m/%d`
VL2=`TZ=GMT+48 date +%m/%d`
VL3=`TZ=GMT+72 date +%m/%d`
VL4=`TZ=GMT+96 date +%m/%d`
VL5=`TZ=GMT+120 date +%m/%d`
echo $VL
echo $VL1
echo $VL2
echo $VL3
echo $VL4
echo $VL5

Found the answer myself.... There should not be any gap between VL and =

It should be VL=`date`
