Tony,
One easy way would be to change the first line of your script to read:
#!/usr/bin/ksh93
This works in 5.1 and 5.2.
Obviously just a work around.

Subject: [aix-l] AIX 5.2 vs 4.3.3 differences
We recently upgraded a 7025 6F0 box from 4.3.3 to 5.2. So far the only
problem that the programmers reported was when they run the following to
manipulate the date:
4.3.3 software:
date=030611 (yymmdd)
date=$(($date+20000000))
echo $date
20030611 (this is the
result we want in yyyymmdd format)
5.2 software:
date=030611
date=$(($date+20000000))
echo $date
20012681
They believe that the leading 0 is causing the number to be treated as an
octal number. It is converting it to octal an then doing the addition
causing the difference. I realize to get the date they should have used
standard date functions but since they did this already, can anyone tell me
an easy way around this so they don't have to start changing all their
code??
TIA
