set intDate [clock scan "$iDate"] **************** it seems it does not
like variable iDate. The value coming in iDate is in format 20010426
set showDate [clock format "$intDate" "%a%m%/%d" ]

It's working fine. 20010426 seconds after 00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC was
14:27:06 1970-08-20 UTC.
You might be happier using the Tcl 8 "clock scan" command, e.g.
set iDate [clock scan 20010426]
set oDate [clock format $iDate %a%m/%d]
