Check the filename and path..Also insufficient permissions may cause this.

have you tried "sh ./filename" ?

The only issue seems here is the path of the file or a typo.
since you are spawning a new shell so permissions does not matter in this regard.

Thanks

Check your file path and file permission.

Then you can give filename.ksh

orelse you can give <filepath> with filename.extension

Thanks,
