In a script , I wrote

Once I run the script , it has to display all files..

"system" is a C programming language command.

Did you mean:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
system( "ls -1tr" );
}

Hi,

I am using Kshell script.

Using script, is it not possible to call system command ?

example: system( "ls -ltr" )

You do not have to use system()
just write

ls -ltr

inside your shell script...
