Paste command reading no delimeters for sun box

I use a paste command on my HP/UX which by specifying single quotation marks my output creates a fixed width file with no delimeters:
paste -d '' a b > temp

on the Sun box the same command recieves an error specifying no delimeters provided.

Both are running ksh.
