A command like:
echo abc*
might simply echo "abc*". Or the shell might find some filenames that match abc*, and it that case, it would echo the list of matching filenames.
Same deal with
echo [a-z]
the echo command may literally see "[a-z]". But if we have some one character lower case filenames in the current directory, it's no go. This is what is happening to you. Add three more lines to your script:
pwd >>/tmp/test.txt
echo [a-z] [A-Z] >> /tmp/test.txt
echo "[a-z]" "[A-Z]" >> /tmp/test.txt
and everything should become clear.
After you understand what was happening with your approach, try this:
typeset -u APPLICATION_UPPER
APPLICATION=hr_app
APPLICATION_UPPER=$APPLICATION
echo $APPLICATION_UPPER
ksh can upshift letters all by itself. No need for tr.
