sea/RudiC - if i understand your suggestion correctly, i have called the test_input function with a -x parameter.
i still had similar results with the -x not resolving for the newist form of if statement (using the [[) however the -x resolves ok with the older forms of if statements (using [ and also test):
Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
test_input()
{
Prmshn=${1}
InFLNm=${2}
# the following if stmt does not work (err msg to the right):
#if [[ ${Prmshn} ${InFLNm} ]] ; then    # syntax error at line 7 : `${InFLNm}' unexpected
# the two following if stmts work ok:
#if [ "$Prmshn" "$InFLNm" ] ; then
if test "$Prmshn" "$InFLNm" ; then
  echo "$InFLNm input file is now available."
else
  echo "$InFLNm input file is not available."
fi
}
test_input -x /input/test.txt
