I run a script locally and get the error

ksh: db2search.ksh: not found.

However when I run it this way no errors occur
./db2search.ksh

How do I fix this problem?
We are running DB2 UDB 7.2 on AIX 5.2L

thanks

You add the current directory to the $PATH environment variable in the user's ".profile" file.

Hope this solves your problem...

export PATH=$PATH:.

It worked thanks exactly what I needed somehow our AIX profiles were out of sync after the AIX upgrade.

there is a security threat with this approach. (adding "current dir" to the search path).

example
- put a malicious program called "ls-l" in the /tmp dir
- wait for a user cd'ing in /tmp and
forgeting the space in the "ls -l" command
- ups

thats the reason why (at least for the root user) "." is not per default in the PATH

For root, it is a high security risk to have . in the PATH ..

For other users, it depends on the site's security policies ... Most of the places I have worked, do not restrict adding the current directory to the PATH
