Input file(s) permissions are rw-r--r--
Please let me know your thoughts on this..

Display exactly how you are running the shell.

$more input_cp_output.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
inDir=$1 #Input Directory
outDir=$2 #output directory
timeStmpExpr='_[0-9]\{8\}.[0-9]\{6\}.txt'
echo 'Just before ls 11111'
ls ${inDir}
echo 'Just before ls-grep 22222'
ls ${inDir} | grep $timeStmpExpr
echo 'Just before ls-grep-while 22222'
ls ${inDir} | grep $timeStmpExpr | \
while read inFile
do
echo "inside loop"
FName=`echo ${inFile} | sed "s/\(.*\)${timeStmpExpr}/\1/"`
outFile=${outDir}${FName}'.txt'
sed '1d;$d' ${inFile} > ${outFile}
rm -f ${inFile}
done
echo "FIle copying COmpleted"

$ input_cp_output.ksh /home/dev/input/mhs/iss/cdw_mhs /home/dev/output/mhs/iss/temp
