Full Discussion: BASH to KSH

At the start of both scripts, let them know how they should run i.e. interpreter.
For bash, put first line as #!/bin/bash
Write down your logic.
Call ksh script.
In ksh script, put first line as #!/bin/ksh
Once ksh exits, control will be regained by bash.

Note: Location of ksh and bash can vary depending upon system.
You need to study further, if scripts are passing data to each other.

It would be better if you provide complete flow with code (if feasible).
