Unable to set the correct date

CAP 33

I turned off on my Omega-2 the function of automatically adjusting the date and time on purpose. When I change the date, the month for some reason changes to February.
date +%d%m%y -s 070419
070219
How to fix it?

@CAP-33 Try date -s YYMMDDhhmm.ss (eg. with date command of BusyBox v1.28.3).

date -s 1904071301.00
Sun Apr 7 13:01:00 GMT 2019

If the date command of BusyBox is not enough for you then install the coreutils-date package - it's theoretically a full version of the standard GNU date utility.
(As you know well: enable the 5th line of '/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf', opkg update and opkg install coreutils-date.)

date -s '19-04-07'
Sun Apr 7 00:00:00 GMT 2019

To change only the date you can use shell command substitution in the date string:
date -s "19-04-07 $(date +%H:%M:%S)"
it will change the date and keep the time.
