Use alias at HP-UX (Unix) with quote or special characters
<p>At HP-UX I am trying to do the below:</p>

<pre><code>$ alias awkFirst="awk -F',' '{print $1}'"
</code></pre>

<p>But this is not successful and returns:
<em>ksh: 1: parameter not set</em></p>

<p>I don't understand what ksh has to do with it.  </p>

<p>Also, I tried to declare the above alias inside script (which starts with the <em>#!/bin/sh</em>) but this is still failing with same error response for ksh.</p>
