As you asked to add zero I added but still the years are not displaying

Code:
+ + date +%m%Y
cmy=022014
+ cm=02
+ cy=2014
+ /usr/xpg4/bin/awk -v cm=2 -v cy=2014 BEGIN{ ML = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"}
function setyear(TorY,M) {
        if(index(TorY, ":") == 0) return(TorY)  # We have a year; not a time.
        m = (index(ML, M) + 2) / 3              # Convert month name to number
        if(m > cm)      return(cy - 1 " " TorY) # return last year + time
        else            return(cy " " TorY)     # return this eyar + time
}
/^On since/ {
        $5 = setyear($3, $5)
}
/^Last login/ {
        $6 = setyear($4, $6)
}
{       print

OK. Now try changing the line of code in your script:
Code:
function setyear(TorY,M) {

to what I suggested in message #8 in this thread:
Code:
function setyear(M, TorY) {
