finally able to tuck the GMT date and time into a variable. The following is
the method I used.

xeq sh.hpbin.sys "-c 'callci setvar dateVar `date +%Y%m%d`'"
xeq sh.hpbin.sys "-c 'callci setvar timeVar `date +%Y%H%M%S`'"
setvar GSTtime str("!dateVar",1,8) + "." + str("!timeVar",5,6)

The following is the output for which i was trying...and got it..
20060218.064311
Surprising, why %Y is also used in timeVar .. !!!! :)
