    Hi IBM, my production server on site are using AIX 7. 

    We do compiling and deploying a Java application inside that machine.

     

    For development and test, we use VMware with linux (no AIX available for VM for us). I created a shell script that use "whiptail" to create shell dialog.

    Unfortunately, when we ran inside our AIX7 it not working because no package for "whiptail"

     

    Can you suggest, what shell dialog that I can use with AIX 7?

    No native alternative.  You will have to compile from source code...
