Hi,
I have a solution with awk.

#!/bin/ksh

cd `dirname $0`/
APPLIHOME=`pwd | sed 's%/[^/]*$%%'`
echo "$APPLIHOME"

if [[ $# -lt 3 ]] then
echo
echo "ERROR : need 4 parameters "
echo "ERROR : Syntax error: [$shellprog.sh FILE DB PACKAGE ENV] "
exit 3
fi
echo "echo ${APPLIHOME} | awk -F '/' '{print \$3}'" > temp
PARAM=`ksh temp`
echo $PARAM

I add to your awk solution [\] to the print option ==>{print \$3} and it work.

Thanks for your help,

ksh print [ -Rnprsu [n]] [arg...] DESCRIPTION
ksh The shell output mechanism. With no flags or with flag - or -, the arguments are printed on standard output as described by echo(1). OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -n suppresses new-line from being added to the output. -R -r (raw mode) ignore the escape conventions of echo. The -R option will print all subsequent arguments and options other than -n. -p causes the arguments to be written onto the pipe of the process spawned with |& instead of standard output. -s causes the arguments to be written onto the history file instead of standard output. -u [ n ] flag can be used to specify a one digit file descriptor unit number n on which the output will be placed. The default is 1. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful operation. >0 Output file is not open for writing. ATTRIBUTES
