[Solved] How to refer more than 9 command line inputs for a scripts in korn shell?

Hi all,

I have a script which should take more than 9 command line inputs while running. Like
Code:
script.sh a s d f g h j j k l o p i u y t r e w

Now in the script if I have to access one of the input which is at position after 9, in this case say 'p' then how can I do that?
Code:
echo $12

will not work as 1 & 2 would be taken as two independent numbers. I found a suggestion to mention
Code:
echo ${12}

but I guess it is for Bourne shell and for me on Korn shell it it is giving error as: script.sh: bad substitution

Can you please help me on this or direct me to a place when I can get more information.

Thanks,
Pat

VIEW-OS(1)						      General Commands Manual							VIEW-OS(1)

NAME
viewsu - change (virtual) user ID or become (virtual) superuser SYNOPSIS
viewsu [options] [username] DESCRIPTION
The viewsu command is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, viewsu defaults to becoming the supe- ruser. The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. This command is the View-OS counterpart of the su(1) command. The value of $PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users, or /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the superuser. This may be changed with the ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH definitions in /etc/login.defs. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the viewsu command are: -c, --command COMMAND Specify a command that will be invoked by the shell using its -c. -, -l, --login Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. When - is used, it must be specified as the last viewsu option. The other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction. -s, --shell SHELL The shell that will be invoked. The invoked shell is chosen from (highest priority first): o The shell specified with --shell. o The shell indicated in the /etc/passwd entry for the target user. o /bin/sh if a shell could not be found by any above method.
