Pierre,

Do you mean i have to have the code like this:

integer filecount=0
for file in BARE01_DLY_???_$(date +%Y%m%d); do
filecount=$filecount+1
done
echo $filecount

if (( $filecount == 20 )); then
print "True"
else
print "False"
fi

is this right? How can i embed them in the single KSH script. Please let me know.
