Question : Cannot capture date-time in a Unix ksh script

I am trying to capture the date/time in a Unix script to then insert as a date field into an Oracle table.

- I use this to append dateparm to a logfile name

# get the start time per source but only for the first time
      if [ ${TBLNAME} = "PRODT_NM" ]
      then
          time_start=`date "+%x %X"`
      fi
 
. . . 
#get time end per source
      time_end =`date "+%x %X"`
 
      echo "time_end = ${time_end}" >> /tmp/prd_srcelog$$
