Aaron,

I don't think Bash is ordinarily part of PASE, I think it has to be added. I thought PASE is the Korn shell.

So digging a bit: From "Qshell for iSeries" (MCPress) by Ted Holt and Fred Kulack:

/"Qshell is a Unix-like interface... ...It is a Bourne-like shell with many features from the Korn shell. Qshell began as a port of the ash shell, a Bourne-like shell from Berkely Software Design (BSD) "/

So I think the Bash shell has been added to your system. I tried that on my V7 box and did not find Bash. Several of the AIX downloads actually work quite well in PASE.

Hi all,

I am trying to install a utility in PASE on IBMi (v7.1) but it is
failing because it states bash version 3.2.25 is required. Running
"bash --version" via "CALL QP2TERM" states I am running the following
version:

GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (powerpc-ibm-aix5.1)

Anybody know if it is possible to upgrade the bash version on IBM i?
