Now I have another problem.

export PS1='$LOGNAME@$HOST:$PWD:${ORACLE_SID:-ORUNDEF}\n!->' - result is:

oracle8i_at_coin-app:/u01/app/psoft/PSTEST/appserv:PSTESTn133->

instead of

oracle8i_at_coin-app:/u01/app/psoft/PSTEST/appserv:PSTEST 133->

Looks like it does not understand \n as a new line character.

Any ideas please.

Anybody knows how to show current working directory and in general shell variable in Korn shell that prompt change when variable changes - for current working directory and ORACLE_SID for example. I know how to do it in bash but cannot do it right in Korn.
