Klugy but it works - month expressed as numeric value with leading space for single digit months.
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -i Date # set the variable type to integer - This strips off the leading zero
typeset -R2 PadDate # Set the variable PadDate to field width of two - pads single values with space
Date=$(date '+%m') # Get the current month in two digits with leading zeros and store that value as an integer
PadDate=${Date} # Set PadDate value to Date value expressed as Right justified with a field width of 2
print "${PadDate}" # display the result

Yes,
I know that, but without the leading zero, I want a blank in the place of zero as with %e for the day which is different from %d.

Hi,
I am looking for a clue to display the month as a decimal number (1-12), in a two-digit field, with a blank space as leading space fill instead of zero.
There is a similar option for the Day, but I didn't find it for month :
%e Displays the day of the month as a decimal number (1-31). In a two-digit
field, a blank space is used as leading space fill.
Any idea ?
TIA
