Ksh93/AIX compatibility

Hi everyone !

Im trying to know from wich version of AIX KSH93 is available ?
Internet tell me 6.x and 7.x AIX are available, bue what about 5.x ?
Is KSH93 available on AIX 5.x ?
Is it the same way to manipulate variables as KSH93 on 7.x ?

Thanks for your support and have a nice day !

If i remember correctly (sorry, but this has been quite some time ago) ksh93 was introduced to AIX with 4.3-something or maybe with 5L. I have no way to check which exact version of ksh93 was packaged back then, right now (i use mostly AIX 7.1.4) it is a ksh93u+. Since its introduction the ksh93 was always /usr/bin/ksh93 whereas /usr/bin/ksh invokes a ksh88.

Variable manipulation (i suppose you mean parameter expansion) is consistent in ksh93 throughout, at least there was no change that i know of.

I hope this helps.
