Substitution not working in ksh

Hi,

Following code is working in bash but not in ksh.
Can someone please send me an alternative?

#!/bin/ksh
fname="EOA.dmp"
echo $fname
logname=${fname/.dmp/.log}
echo $logname


I am getting below error in ksh
"testcmd[4]: logname=${fname/.dmp/.log}: 0403-011 The specified substitution is not valid for this command."

Thanks & Regards
Sheshadri
