David,

What is your position on this change in behavior?

1. The ksh-93s behavior is a bug, and it is fixed in the latest versions,

or

2. the old behavior is the desired behavior, and the new versions have a bug.

Thanks,
Herbert.

Did you mean
    typeset -u -i
for unsigned integer?  The -n option means name reference and doesn't
work with other options.

No, I meant typeset -u -n. As you can see in the example, it did work in previous ksh versions. It converts the referenced name to uppercase. Any particular reason this behavior was removed?

Thanks,
Herbert.
