You need ksh93 (not ksh88):

Code:
$ Version M-11/16/88i
$ typeset -AE exchange_rate
ksh: typeset: bad option(s)

Code:
$ /usr/dt/bin/dtksh
$ print ${.sh.version}
Version M-12/28/93
$ typeset -AE exchange_rate
$ exchange_rate[DM]=1.7
$ exchange_rate[FF]=.15
$ exchange_rate[AS]=.04
$ print ${exchange_rate[FF]}
0.15
$ print ${exchange_rate[@]}
1.7 0.15 0.04
$ print ${!exchange_rate[@]}
DM FF AS
