To understand which version you are on you might eventually consider some really farfetched idea, like telling us this information. Issue
and post the output.
I think the problem is with the missing spaces. As far as i know ksh needs spaces around the double brackets. Either this or you use ksh88 and this does not understand every infix notation. Try one of those instead (notice the additional spaces!):
I don't think so. Which version exactly you have would depend on the version of AIX (see above) but in general AIX uses a ksh88 as /usr/bin/ksh and as default shell and has a ksh93 as /usr/bin/ksh93.
as for the the istat (inode) command I have not tried that, looked at it previously but couldn't find any sort of modifiers or description on how to extract just the file size
Thanks for taking the Time in explaining that for me. I tried a simple command that told me the version was 3, but I don't believe that is specific enough so I will give that a shot when I'm back at the terminal next week, I will also look into iNode and the Arithmetic options you gave me and see what I can gather.

I need to get a file size and compare it to a previous day file size. If it's larger or smaller by 50 percent I'll replace the new with the old. I know how to get the file sizes but do not know how to calculate if it's 50 percent difference.
