Cron and percent sign
I write the crontab command in the file
длинная команда $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S) продолжение
When cron starts execution, it sees only this part of
длинная команда $(date +
Everything after + it doesn't see.
How can this be overcome?

According to the documentation ($ man 5 crontab or online) the percent character % will be converted by the cron program to a newline character.
To avoid this, add a backslash character before each % character used:
... $(date +\%Y\%m\%d\%H\%M\%S) ...
