The suggestion hergp made shows you how to use the for loop. A simpler way to perform what this script does is:

#!/bin/ksh
Src_Dir="/home/etc"
file_nm ="ab.temp"
cd "$Src_Dir"
printf "%s\n" $file_nm*

If there is more to do in the script that needs to be run from the directory in which the script started, add the following line to the end of the script:

cd -

before the remainder of your code.
