What you tried is ksh93 only, as Don Cragun already said. The default shell (/usr/bin/ksh and /usr/bin/sh, which is a link to the former) in AIX is a ksh88. A ksh93 (revision t in AIX 7.1, TL3) is only available as /usr/bin/ksh93.

To sum it up, Don was spot on with his suspicion.

I hope this helps.
