Parsing input paramter in a script
Hi folks I am having a little trouble in parsing a variable read into a ksh script

I have a bunch of variables passed into script

test.ksh HOST SERVER JOB1 JOB2 JOB3 JOB4 JOB5

What I want to do is read all the $JOB variables ($JOB1, $JOB2, $JOB3) into a variable and then read that variable in a loop and use the values in a case statement for further use however when I try doing this

if [ $# -lt 3 ]
then
echo
usage()
echo
exit
fi

J=$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8
for JOB in $J
do
case $JOB in
BUPD ) echo $JOB ;;
FUPD ) echo $JOB ;;
DMMD ) echo $JOB ;;
BNMD ) echo $JOB ;;
OC10 ) echo $JOB ;;
WRPF ) echo $JOB ;;
STRT ) echo $JOB ;;
CKPS ) echo $JOB ;;
CKRT ) echo $JOB ;;
esac
done

This however is reading all the variables in one

echo $JOB is returing BUPD,FUPD,DMMD,BNMD,OC10,STRT

Can someone help

started(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						started(7)

NAME

       started - event signalling that a job is running

SYNOPSIS

       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  started  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished starting and is now running.  The JOB
       environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environment variable contains the instance name which will be empty  for  sin-
       gle-instance jobs.

       init(8)	emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
       activity.  It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by services declaring a dependency.

       Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment variables from their own environment into the started  event.   See
       init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:

	      start on started apache
	      stop on stopping apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:

	      start on started postgresql
