Subject: Re: [ast-users] [[ -v x.MAX ]] returns 0 if x is an integer variable



 The -v test operand does not work for i.MAX if i is a constant of an
 integer type:
 ksh -c 'integer i; [[ -v i.MAX ]]  echo var is there'
 
 Language version is the latest:
 ksh --version
   version sh (ATT Research) 93v- 2013-09-23

This is correct.  i.MAX is an arithmetic constant whose value is MAX for the
typeof variable i.  It is not a variable.
