Find : not found

Question

Hi,
I am having a problem when running a Korn script on a Solaris 10 box even though the path to the 'find' command - /usr/bin is in the users profile. Please advise as to what process takes place when a shell script is run from inside another shell.
Thanks

Cheers Alan,
Find works on the command line and also if you specify full path. I have attached the script. You are being more helpful than my Solaris/UNIX support team !!:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x
# Name: delete_files_aged.ksh
# Description: Generates and deletes a list of files older than a specified number of days (2nd parameter).
# Parameters: delete_files_aged.ksh <full file path> <age of files>
# Output: A log file of the form /dw/dba/logs/<DB2INSTANCE>/delete_files_aged_DAYS_YYYYMMDD.log
# Who When Why
# Lathan Peach 13/06/08 New script to purge files from any location.
