What external program are you referring to, eval being a shell builtin ?

I stand corrected, I though eval wasn't implemented as built in all frequently used ksh implementations.

The problem is that the name of a variable has to be constructed from a variable. An associative array could be used. Is that what you meant?
No.

Array, barefoot, is just a pile of like sized items you can index by number.
Yes,
given the output the OP posted ...

Code:
/home/gold/Release-Wechsel/Skripte_RW/test3.sh[5]: land1=DE:  not found
/home/gold/Release-Wechsel/Skripte_RW/test3.sh[5]: land2=FR:  not found

... I assumed array_zahl contains only integers and most probably eval is unnecessary (i.e. no need to dynamically construct identifiers).

I also assumed array_zahl contains only integers and I definitely agree using arrays would be more elegant. However, the eval statement would be less intrusive to the rest of the OP code should he already use hardcoded variable names.
