WOW! I got about 25 replies. Too many people to thank individually, so thanks
to all of you for taking the time to point out that I can't see the forest for
the trees. I should have looked at the source to see how this is called!
Except for two people who suggested calling 'typeset' by its full path (can't be
done because 'typeset' is a Korn built-in!) EVERYONE ELSE figured out that the
binary MUST be calling "sh /usr/local/bin/cdfilesxfer2". Because the Bourne
shell doesn't recognize the shebang, it failed to call ksh. Instead, it ran the
script by itself. Explains why typeset is not found.
Thanks again folks,
-Sal

OK - I've beaten myself on this one to no end. I have a Korn script that uses
the 'typeset -l' command to translate a value into lower case. The script works
fine from the command line, from crontab entries, and also with at/batch
submission.
We have a system call from a compiled binary that calls this script and we get:
typeset: not found
Here are the important parts of the script,which receives nine parameters:
#!/bin/ksh
# Received parameters debug
echo "PL part 3 = " $3
X2=$3
typeset -l X2
cp /$1/$2/print/$4/$5/1/$X1 /$1/$2/$X2/work/cdfiles/current/$7"."$8"."$9".wri"
I don't understand why it's not working, and I can't find anything in the ksh or
the typeset man pages about what turns it on/off. For now, I've replaced the
assignment of X2 and the typeset command with:
X2=`echo $3 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
This works, but it's not what I wanted to do.
TIA,
-Sal
