how to reduce one day from this
Jan013.gz ---> it should be Jan012.gz

I used this to extract somepart of the date
FILENAME=$(date +%b%d)
printf $FILENAME

It generates output like this.?
Jan13(example)

But I need Jan13.gz

Try this

FILENAME=$(TZ=TZ+23;date +%b%d).gr
print $FILENAME

The ';' can be omited :

FILENAME=$(TZ=TZ+23 date +%b%d).gr
print $FILENAME
