Just a thought, maybe you can simplify the "whole thing" using shell and Perl
as follows -
include=file
/usr/atria/bin/cleartool desc $include | grep created | awk -F " " '{print
$2}' | cut -b 1-9 | perl -w -e 'print <STDIN>'

You will probably need to specify the full path of grep and awk.
(usr/bin/grep etc)
