Author awk question

I enter the date command, and it will display April 3.
How can I change that to show April 03.
I would assume to check if the field is one digit add a leading zero.
thanks

This sounds like a date question, not an awk question. Just use the
correct date output format. man date.

Thanks I was able to adust the date field to:
date '+ %b %d' > mydate
