Find where the isql binary resides ( find / | grep isql ), and put in your PATH for ksh, and if not even echo is working I would check the PATH and make sure it has /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin etc or symlink the isql binary to /usr/bin or something like that and make sure it is in your PATH. echo $PATH will show you the current PATH variable. do
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/dir/with/isql

the PATH variable is where unix stores the locations of command commands so you do not need to type the absolute path every time you want to execute them. hope this helps
