| Nov 17, 2021 at 15:24 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | It looks like the beta ksh93v- version of ksh93 and on which was based the (now discontinued) ksh2020 added support for -a as an alias for -A in 2014 for compatibility with bash. So that may be the version of ksh the OP has on their "lower" environment. All other versions / clones / variants of ksh, zsh and yash use read -A. bash chose -a instead of -A even though it otherwise copied the clunky array design of ksh something like 13 years after it was introduced by ksh. | |
