Methyl, thank you so much i never would have considered a space - !!!!!!! My code finally runs - thanks to you.
The object of the code was to find files over 1 gig write to a file then loop through the file, sending the file names to the find function, return the file location, Print it all out to a text file. It could be done differently w/less code but this syntax was really important to me. I still don't understand 2 things
1. In the final code sending the $Line0 to the my print, this was a string not a line. I could not use cut on this. Why is it a string not a line?
2. In the findPath3 function, I played around a lot with the syndax, why did i have to use the back ticks the way i did. I originally tried the line below but it returned nothing.
Code:
echo"`find /u03/hsun -name ${1}`"

Code:
 
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
function CreateT1 {
 ls -lR ${2} | sort +2 | awk ' $5 > 1073741824 {print $3, $9, $5, $5/1073741824}' > ${1}
}
 
 
function FindPath3 {
 `echo find /u03/hsun -name ${1}`
}
function MyPrint {   
tfile=`echo "${2}"`
 tPath=`FindPath3 ${2}`
 echo "tpath: $tPath"
print $1,$2,$3,$4,$tPath >> /home/kemard/Test3_OP.txt
} 

#####Code Body######
CreateT1 /u03/kemard/BaseData.txt /u03/hsun
 while read line0
   do 
       MyPrint $line0
   done < /u03/kemard/BaseData.txt

radeapclient

RADEAPCLIENT(1) 						 FreeRADIUS Daemon						   RADEAPCLIENT(1)

NAME

       radeapclient - send EAP packets to a RADIUS server, calculate responses

SYNOPSIS

       radeapclient  [-c  count] [-d raddb_directory] [-f file] [-h] [-i source_ip] [-q] [-s] [-r retries] [-S file] [-t timeout] [-v] [-x] server
       {acct|auth} secret

DESCRIPTION

       radeapclient is a radius client program. It can send arbitrary radius packets to a radius server, then shows the reply.	Radeapclient  dif-
       fers from radclient in that if there is an EAP-MD5 challenge, then it will be responded to.

       radeapclient is otherwise identical to radclient.

       The EAP-Identity attribute, if present is used to construct an EAP Identity message.

       The EAP-MD5-Password attribute, if present is used to respond to an MD5 challenge.

       No other EAP types are currently supported.

OPTIONS

       -c count
	      Send each packet count times.

       -d raddb
	      Set dictionary directory.

       -f file
	      Read packets from file, not stdin.

       -r retries
	      If timeout, retry sending the packet retries times.

       -t timeout
	      Wait timeout seconds before retrying (may be a floating point number).

       -h     Print usage help information.

       -i id  Set request id to 'id'.  Values may be 0..255

       -S file
	      Read secret from file, not command line.

       -q     Quiet, do not print anything out.

       -s     Print out summary information of auth results.

       -v     Show program version information.

       -x     Enable debugging mode.

EXAMPLE

       A sample session that queries the remote server with an EAP-MD5 challenge.

	      ( echo 'User-Name = "bob"';
		echo 'EAP-MD5-Password = "hello"';
		echo 'NAS-IP-Address = marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.c';
		echo 'EAP-Code = Response';
		echo 'EAP-Id = 210';
		echo 'EAP-Type-Identity = "bob";
		echo 'Message-Authenticator = 0x00';
		echo 'NAS-Port = 0' ) >req.txt

	      radeapclient -x localhost auth testing123 <req.txt
