I'm trying to set a variable to be today's date in DD format, so I am using

:set day=`date -u +%d`

but when I echo $day it is in the D format.  I know the command portion is
working correctly since I can run

:date -u +%d

interactively and get the DD format that I am looking for.  So I must
somehow be losing the leading '0' in the assignment process.  Any Unix
guru's wish to elaborate on how to get around this?
