[SOLVED] Script error

Hi all

I have a code in unix as
Code:
SCRNAME=`whence $0 | sed -e 's/\.\///g'`

this used to return me this path
/data/ds/dpr_ebicm_uat/etl/

but i ran this code in linux as
Code:
SCRNAME=`/bin/ksh whence $0 | sed -e 's/\.\///g'`

and now its returning me blank value in SCRNAME. I am not able to figure out why is this happening.

Could you people please help to figure out why is the whence command working different in linux

SCRNAME=`/bin/ksh -c "whence $0" | sed -e 's/\.\///g'`
