I first tried it on my NIM-Server, which happens to be also my script development system. Its version is basically 7.1 SP2. The first try is with the system shell (which is a ksh88), the second with the ksh93:
To be honest, i'm dumbfounded. I would have never expected that to run. Btw., this only works with integers, not with strings:
will work as expected - which is: not work at all.
I got adventurous and tried to make the datatype more "stringy" and less "integerly":
both of which works too - "foo" gets expanded.
The next thing i wondered was: is this specific to the AIX-ksh? In fact it is not. My colleague from the Linux-team tried it on a couple of our SLES11-servers and the ksh93 there worked the same. As it seems this is no specific feature of the AIX-shell but a common treat of the Korn shell.
I hope this helps.
