: Hi Folks,

: I'm trying to execute sheel script in SCO.
: It works fine with other Linux, like Redhat and Caldera. But I couldn't get it to work with SCO.
: Here is my shell script:

: # test1.sh

: # set the path
: AGHOME=`/u/user2/appgen5`; export AGHOME
: PATH=$PATH:$AGHOME/bin; export PATH
: cd $AGHOME/TP

: # call the c program with 25 string inputs
: applicant1 "${1}" "${2}" "${3}" "${4}" "${5}" "${6}" "${7}" "${8}" "${9}" "${10}" "${11}" "${12}" "${13}" "${14}" "${15}" "${16}" "${17}" "${18}" "${19}" "${20}" "${21}" "${22}" "${23}" "${24}" "${25}"

:
: Now everytime I run this script, all the path scripts worked well. However, I got an error message that indicate bad substitution for applicant1.


Why on earth wouldn't you just do

aplicant $*

???
Anyway, it's nothing to do with Linux or SCO, it's the shell.


And, again, THIS DOESN'T BELONG HERE!!!!!!!!!
