Actually, when I implement the above logic in my original script (the one I gave above is sample), it is giving me the right output but also throwing below error

./wf_CITCOFxParm.ksh[12]: test: argument expected
./wf_CITCOFxParm.ksh[12]: test: argument expected

Any clue?

Line 12 is where I'm calling the CmnFuncs.ksh in the myScript.ksh

---------- Post updated at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:30 PM ----------

followed by on line 13, I have

RunDate()
To evaluate that error, I'd need to see at least the first 15 lines of wf_CITCOFxParm.ksh.

And, to run the function RunDate, you should use:
Code:
RunDate

not:
Code:
RunDate()

As vgersh99 suggested, placing double quotes around the variable in the if clause removed the errors.

Thank you all.
