problem with nb of parameters between unix shell and smit 2

[despe]

i want to make an interface under smit which running shell script (batch) but the numbers of parameters are not enough numerous (from $0 to $9) to accomplished what i wish to do cause sometimes i 've need more than 9 parameters ....
so can you help me in saying how i could found a way to dispose of more than 9 parameters in a shell or to reorganise the interface of smit to manage all these parameters. thanx
(ps :sorry for my bad english )

Not sure what you are asking...but the shift command in the shell is
used for positional parameters greater than 0 through 9 ...It is used to reference
parameters beyond the ninth one? I think ksh can have up to 99 parameters......
I think you can also access parameters greater than 9 by enclosing the number
in curly braces. i.e ${10}

The shift command shifts arguments 1-9 one position to the left and decrements
the count of arguments ($#)

To shift parameters by more than one position to the left, use shift n,
where n is the number of positions to shift. For example shift 3 will shift the
positional parameters to the left by three.


Not sure this is what you are looking for? Good luck

If you're using the Korn Shell, then you can simply use the positional parameters from ${1} to ${n} with n possibly greater than nine.
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.
