HELP WITH .ksh script converting the exit status
Hi
Can someone help me please?

In a standard UNIX .ksh script, if you have the exit status..say 5...what line do you have to enter into the script for this number to be automatically converted to its actual exit reason by looking up the exit status file...wherever that is?

thanks

angus
