ksh not found in solaris

Hi ,
I am new to solaris world but worked in unix for a while . I have this solaris box version 8 .I am trying to run a simple unix file . Q.shl

cat Q.shl
#!/bin/ksh

db2 get connection state

When I run the file I get following error :

Q.shl
ksh: Q.shl: not found

This is output for echo $SHELL

/bin/ksh

Any suggestion please ,
Thanks

This appears to say that Q.shl could not be found; not that the ksh could not be found.

By run the file, please provide more info.
When you go to run Q.shl, are you in the directory where it resides?
Did you make the file executable with a chmod +x Q.shl command?

try:
./Q.shl
to run it.

Yes , I am in the same directory where this file resides . Also I have given chmod 777 on the Q.shl

Thanks ,

You don't have . on your PATH and that is a good thing for security. When you don't specify a path to an executable, the shell searches the directories in PATH to find it. To see your PATH, do:
echo $PATH
