Realize that when you specify sh -x on the command line to execute your program, you are asking to run your script with the Bourne (sh) shell. However, the first line of your program specifies to run your script using the Korn (ksh) shell.

Why have you quoted each element individually? You dont need to do that. Use a single set of double quotes around the entire line.

/usr/ucb/echo "$intID $strNAME $intSHIFT
$($intTotalPaidBreak|bc) $intTotalUnpaidBreak"
>>/tmp/breaktime/REPORT.$$

Also, try removing the space in your "magic number". Change #! /bin/ksh to #!/bin/ksh. While the syntax you are using for this should work, and is correct, not all systems support that method any longer. The HP system that I use at work doesnt like the space.

Execute your file after making the changes.

Also, below your #!/bin/ksh line, add the following line:
set -x
This will turn on debugging. You can now execute the shell without specifying ksh -x on the command line.

NAME

       times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       times

   ksh
       times

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.

   ksh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

	   1.	  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

	   2.	  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

	   3.	  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

	   4.	  Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a
		  variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file  name  genera-
		  tion are not performed.
