I am trying to execute one .sh script in AIX environment, but it's giving an error at below line
tableList = ( Value1 Value2 Value3 )
I have tried executing the script like below:
sh file1.ksh.ksh then executed the file sh ./file1.shThe sh shell don't generally understand arrays as they are not part of the POSIX standard. The filename of the script is arbitrary, so a .sh or a .ksh filename suffix means nothing whatsoever.
Also, your array assignment syntax is a bit wrong (too many spaces). Corrected, it would look like
tableList=( Value1 Value2 Value3 )
Note the lack of blanks between the end of the variable's name and the (.
To be able to run your script, you would need to execute it with a shell that implements arrays, such as ksh93, bash, zsh, or yash (depending what other shell constructs you are using). Note that ksh on AIX is ksh88 which has a slightly different syntax for assigning values to arrays (it uses set -A tableList Value1 Value2 Value3).
The best way of running your script with ksh93 is to add a #!-line to the top of the script, pointing to the ksh93 interpreter, and then make the script executable with chmod +x scriptname.
To use the ksh93 shell on AIX, the very first line of the script should look like
#!/usr/bin/ksh93
After that, don't specify an explicit interpreter on the command line when you run the script:
./scriptname
AFAIR, AIX uses a ksh88 based POSIX shell as /bin/sh
ksh88 does not support
tableList=( Value1 Value2 Value3 )
and this is not required by POSIX.
#!as the first line of the script. e.g.#!/bin/sh,#!/bin/kshor#!/bin/bash. Then make the file executable.
