Unexpected end of a KSH script

[Enrico Venturi]

Hi all,
I'm using the KSH in HP-UX 10.20. In a script A I call the script B then B calls the script C.
It seems impossible but when C ended the control flow is returned not to B but to A.
A and C are different files.
B is a function contained in an environmental file which is executed before starting C.

It seems that the stack is corrupted ...
Have you any ideas?

thank you very much

Hi,

As per your message, B is not a script but a function contained in the environmental file. So, it means it is not to be viewed as a seperate shell but as that of A. So, I am not surprized if C behaves as if it is the child process of A.

Thank you for your reply.
As per my question: C returns to A, ok!, but C has been called by function B which belongs to A, and C returns "out of" B ... it returns to the A code immediately after the B function ... it seems that the "return mechanisms" ignores the B function (not always ...).
I try to explaing again:
A script =

./usr/mycode/myfunctions (B is defined into myfunctions)
./usr/mycode/env
...
...
B
