SCCS is converting my code

[pjb]

I have a shell script that contains " NOW=`date '+%m%d%H%M%S'`" and when I get a "get" from SCCS for read only copy. THe %H% is getting "evaluated" and the line becomes NOW=`date '+%m%d08/27/03M%S'`. I looks as if %H% means something to "somebody"

Try this as a workaround:

NOW=`date '+%m%d%'"H"'%M%S'`

Hope This Help

Try using:

sccs get -k ....

You need to escape the %H, so do

NOW=`date '+%m%d\%H%M%S'`

The sccs get -k .... flag does NOT expand the ID keywords like: %H%
