echo $CMD_ARGS | read . WHATYOUWANT
(thanks bakunin for that, didn't know that it's possible to use . as variable name ;))
echo $WHATYOUWANT
gives you 19995 times a, so it's possible with read
the maximum size of command arguments on AIX, is set with the ncargs attribute, listed as option of sys0
Code:
lsattr -El sys0 -a ncargs
default on my systems is 6, so you have 6x4k blocks=24k=24k characters
if I set the variable to 30k times a, I get the following error message, for every command I want to run:
Code:
ksh93: /bin/ls: cannot execute.
[The parameter or environment lists are too long.].
set ncargs to 16 for example, then you wont have problems
and @ ak835:
from the man page of read:

Description
The read command reads one line from standard input and assigns the values of each field in the input line to a shell variable using the characters in the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable as separators. The VariableName
parameter specifies the name of a shell variable that takes the value of one field from the line of input. The first shell variable specified by the VariableName parameter is assigned the value of the first field, the second
shell variable specified by the VariableName parameter is assigned the value of the second field, and so on, until the last field is reached. If the line of standard input has more fields than there are corresponding shell
variables specified by the VariableName parameter, the last shell variable specified is given the value of all the remaining fields. If there are fewer fields than shell variables, the remaining shell variables are set to empty
strings.
to make sure, set the ifs to " ", before running the read command
