call function with different parameters position

Hi

I would like to call function in my script couple of times. But each time with different parameters position.
In line 57 I don't know how to call it without typing $1 and $ parameters ?

Code:
 #!/bin/ksh
     2
     3
     4  function First
     5  {
     6
     7  # $1 - name
     8  # $2 - second name
     9  # $3 - age
    10  # $4 - sex
    11
    12          typeset -r MY_NAME=$1
    13          typeset -r MY_2nd_NAME=$2
    14          typeset -ri AGE=$3
    15          typeset -r SEX=$4
    16
    17
    18  if [[ -n $MY_NAME && -n $MY_2nd_NAME ]]       
    19  then
    20
    21          print -n "Name is: $MY_NAME in function locally"
    22          print
    23
    24          print -n "Second name is: $MY_2nd_NAME in function locally"
    25          print
    26  else
    27          print "My age is: $AGE"
    28          print
    29          
    30          print "My sex is: $SEX"
    31          print
    32  fi
    33  }
    34
    35
    36
    37
    38  # Start of the program
    39
    40  print -n "Podaj imie: "
    41  read NAME
    42  print
    43
    44  print -n "Podaj nazwisko: "  
    45  read nd_NAME 
    46  print
    47
    48
    49  print "Running local funtion First"
    50  First $NAME $nd_NAME    
    51  print
    52
    53
    54 print "Calling function First again, but now with other parameters"
    55  print
    56
    57  First $1 $2 29 male

print - Output a string

SYNOPSIS
int print (string $arg) DESCRIPTION
Outputs $arg. print is not actually a real function (it is a language construct) so you are not required to use parentheses with its argument list. PARAMETERS
o $arg - The input data. RETURN VALUES
Returns 1, always. EXAMPLES
Example #1 print examples <?php print("Hello World"); print "print() also works without parentheses."; print "This spans multiple lines. The newlines will be output as well"; print "This spans multiple lines. The newlines will be output as well."; print "escaping characters is done "Like this"."; // You can use variables inside a print statement $foo = "foobar"; $bar = "barbaz"; print "foo is $foo"; // foo is foobar // You can also use arrays $bar = array("value" => "foo"); print "this is {$bar['value']} !"; // this is foo ! // Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value print 'foo is $foo'; // foo is $foo // If you are not using any other characters, you can just print variables print $foo; // foobar print <<<END This uses the "here document" syntax to output multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note that the here document terminator must appear on a line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace! END; ?> NOTES
Note Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions. SEE ALSO
echo(3), printf(3), flush(3), Heredoc syntax. PHP Documentation Group PRINT(3)
