After several posts, please let us know about your envirnment:
Please post:
Code:
echo $SHELL
uname -a
On one of your earlier posts I commented anout the contstruct of a function.
You post:
Quote:
function newrecord () {
This is not correct syntax.
Try:
Code:
newrecord () {
And don't forget the closing brace "}" to end the function. This closing brace is missing from your post.
After correction and taking into account cfajohnon post (if you have a Posix Shell) please post the amended version of your script complete with what you type to execute the script and all output (unedited).

shcomp
SHCOMP(1) Korn shell utilities SHCOMP(1)NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with
the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn-
ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
EXIT STATUS
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
