But the file i there with 777 permission.

If the name of the script contains space characters you need to put double quotes round the name when referring to that file name: "my script name".

It is bad practice in unx to create files with names containing spaces characters.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies.
The file name is not having any spaces.
Here is an similar simple code which is having the same issue...

#!/bin/ksh
###############################################################################
# Test script
###############################################################################

echo "Hi";
