Got this, what does that mean?

Quote:
echo ${.sh.version}
ksh: ${.sh.version}: 0403-011 The specified substitution is not valid for this command.

Given your shell version, it should be easier with case:

Code:
case $stringA in 
  *$stringB* ) echo OK;;
           * ) echo KO;;
esac

It should be stringB in ... stringA:

Code:
$ stringA=POLICY
$ stringB="CUSTOMER HOUSEHOLD QUOTE POLICY"
$ case $stringB in        
> *$stringA*) echo OK;;
> *) echo KO;;
> esac
OK
