By default you script "FILENAME.KSH" might not be having executable permission.
Run this command.

Code:

chmod 777 FILENAME.KSH

Then run the script.

This is vi message. Very strange, if you are really execute it as "vi filename.ksh".
Try in vi

Code:

:w filename.ksh
:q

The First Thing The Script Is Its Not Getting Saved
When I Issued A Command :wq! To save And Quit I Am Getting The Below
E32:No File Name

I suspect UR use of upper case has cause the error try lower case.
Possibly U reentered vi and did not see a warning and U could have a .filnam.txt.swp file existing.
In step 3 if U actually typed what U show after "3:" then that is the problem. To save a file or an edit of a file with vi use ":wq" in lower case.

When you are in vi in command mode, type :

exclamation mark twice (only one should appear) then "date"
Enter this in command mode:
!!date
Only one "!" willl be displayed so what you will see is :
!date

Press<Enter>
The current date will be inserted in the opened file, at the the place where your cursor is

To make the result of a command be printed into your vi opened file, use bang (exclamation mark)
