Mohapatra,
Just concatenate the fields together:
Code:
typeset -R8 mMMDDYYYY
...
mMMDDYYYY='0'$LAST_MONTH'01'$THIS_YEAR

In January, LAST_MONTH and THIS_YEAR will not work right.

I tested Nimo's solutions and couldn't find any problems.
Could you please advise?

Opps, my mistake. Despite the variable name, THIS_YEAR will be set to last year in that case.
