What little thing solved it for you? Your original line and all of the alternatives posted should work in ksh.
You would not have got the error message you gave with the line you posted if it was run in a POSIX shell (ksh, bash, etc.)
One alternative posted, EXPHOURINSEC=$((EXPDATEHOUR * 3600)), while a valid POSIX command, would not have worked in /bin/sh on a *BSD system.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
incr - Increment the value of a variable
SYNOPSIS
incr varName ?increment?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Increments the value stored in the variable whose name is varName. The value of the variable must be an integer. If increment is supplied
then its value (which must be an integer) is added to the value of variable varName; otherwise 1 is added to varName. The new value is
stored as a decimal string in variable varName and also returned as result.
EXAMPLES
Add one to the contents of the variable x:
incr x
Add 42 to the contents of the variable x:
incr x 42
Add the contents of the variable y to the contents of the variable x:
incr x $y
Add nothing at all to the variable x (often useful for checking whether an argument to a procedure is actually numeric and generating an
error if it is not):
incr x 0
