Hi all,

This must be a really dumn question. :-<

I have a script which doesn't work well, since it doesn't recognize a subroutine. I compared my code with other codes that work fine with sub function, and didn't see any difference. (at least look the same style to me.)

So I wrote a really small scipt to test the sub:

---

#!/bin/ksh

echo "supposed to show hello below"
quick_test

function quick_test {

        echo "hello"
}

---

after I run it, I got: 1[3]: quick_test: not found.

The box is:
Machine hardware: sun4u
OS version: 5.6

Don't know ksh version, how to know ksh version really?

Thanks!

Janet
