Lightbulb Find file more than 500 MB

Hi,

I used to use the below command on Solaris

Code:
find /var/tmp -size +500000 -exec ls -e {} \;

but this command does not seem to work on HP-UX.

Can you help me list all files under /var/tmp and its sub-directories which are more than 500MB in size ?

==> find /tmp/var -size +500M -exec ls -ltre {} \;
find: Error in processing the argument 500M

The OP command does not list all the files more than 500 MB. Permission is not an issue. The command or parameter looks to be a inappropriate.
