Not sure why it's set in the script, so you may want to leave it on for the rest of the script; however, for that one part you're going to want to turn noglob off.

When noglob is on, it prevents the wildcard expansion of *, ?, etc.

You'll want to modify your script something like this:
Code:
PWDIR=/app/icop/aircrews/CIP/data/CMSLOG/log/batch/history
set +o noglob           # turn noglob off so asterisk expands
ls -ls ${PWDIR}/*.fixed
set -o noglob           # turn noglob on in case script needs it

mset

MSET(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   MSET(1)

NAME

       mset - retrieve ASCII to IBM 3270 keyboard map

SYNOPSIS

       mset

DESCRIPTION

       Mset  retrieves	mapping  information for the ASCII keyboard to IBM 3270 terminal special functions.  Normally, these mappings are found in
       /usr/share/misc/map3270 (see map3270(5)).  This information is used by the tn3270 command (see tn3270(1)).

       Mset can be used store the mapping information in the process environment in order to  avoid  scanning  /usr/share/misc/map3270	each  time
       tn3270 is invoked.  To do this, place the following command in your .login file:

	  set noglob; setenv MAP3270 "`mset`"; unset noglob

       Mset   first   determines   the	 user's   terminal   type  from  the  environment  variable  TERM.   Normally  mset  then  uses  the  file
       /usr/share/misc/map3270 to find the keyboard mapping for that terminal.	However, if the environment variable MAP3270 exists  and  contains
       the  entry  for the specified terminal, then that definition is used.  If the value of MAP3270 begins with a slash (`/') then it is assumed
       to be the full pathname of an alternate mapping file and that file is searched first.  In any case, if the mapping for the terminal is  not
       found  in the environment, nor in an alternate map file, nor in the standard map file, then the same search is performed for an entry for a
       terminal type of unknown.  If that search also fails, then a default mapping is used.

FILES

       /usr/share/misc/map3270	      keyboard mapping for known terminals

SEE ALSO

       tn3270(1), map3270(5)

BUGS

       If the entry for the specific terminal exceeds 1024 bytes, csh(1) will fail to set the environment variable.  Mset should  probably  detect
       this case and output the path to the map3270 file instead of the terminal entry.
