Temporarily disable effect of set -e in ksh

Hi!

I'd like to temporarily disable effect of set -e before invoking some commands whose exit status can be ignored.

The "e" flag can be off so the code below may improperly turn "e" on:

set +x
... call function here ...
set -x

In Bash surrounding the command with parenthesis does work.

How can I do it in ksh with a special character?

Thanks
u.
