Hi All:
When I enter=20
date '+%m' at the command line, it returns 01.
This is exactly what I expect. I have tried=20
set month =3D 'date +%m'=20
in my script. It did not work. I also tried
@ month =3D 'date +%m'
this did not work. I know I have left the back ticks
out off the +%m portion, but it did work at the command
promp
date +%m
It did return 01
I am discovering the wonderful world of csh. I will give
the ksh a try.
Thanks for the reply
John
