I have a ksh script that works fine on SLES 9.3, 10.3 but is hanging when I attempt to run it on 11.3.
When I kill the process from another session I am seeing the following in the session that was running the script which seems to be pointing me to the function call to the function AddResolution where it is saying "more tokens expected"

Here's what I am seeing in the putty session after I kill the process running the script:
/usr/cicjis/tools/shTranIdDoit[3624]: GetResolution[2220]: AddResolution[2249]: let: ErrorNoteOid=: more tokens expected

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've been beating my head on this one all morning and half the afternoon yesterday.

Here is the fragment from the script that I believe is giving me the problem:
function AddResolution
{ ...
...
let ErrorNoteOid=$(AddErrorNote $TranId $MaxLineNo "$fLine") <--- This appears to be where the problem is
...
...
}

function AddErrorNote
{
print "Inside AddErrorNote"
...
...
)

Any help would be appreciated.

probably the environment is different, something is not set (properly). You can use set -x to debug your script. That will give you more info about variables and commands...

Please use ***[code][/code]*** tags around your code and data, to preserve the original formatting and to improve readability. Do not use quote tags, bolding, colors, "start/end" lines, or other creative techniques.


Well, assuming that this line really is the culprit, let initiates an arithmetic environment, so the right hand side needs to evaluate into a number. The "more tokens expected" error seems to indicate that it's not getting the proper number of arguments, so perhaps the AddErrorNote function isn't producing what it should. Have you tried echoing out the variables and testing the output of the function separately yet?

Other than that, it's impossible to say anything more with the meager amount of code and info you've given us.


BTW, it's generally recommended to use ((..)) or $((..)) for your arithmetic expressions instead of let.
