echo "You must enter 3 names"
fi
if (($AGE > $AGE1) && ($AGE > $AGE2))
then
echo " "; echo "At $AGE years old, $1 is the oldest person in the list."
elif (($AGE2 > $AGE) && (AGE2 > $AGE3))
then
echo " "; echo "At $AGE2 years old, $2 is the oldest person in the list."
elif (($AGE3 > $AGE) && (AGE3 > $AGE2))
then
echo " "; echo "At $AGE3 years old, $3 is the oldest person in the list."
fi

Assuming this is Bourne shell, try launching it this way:

sh -x script_name arg1 arg2 ... argn

This should at least give you an idea at which line your getting unexpected results.

Hope that helps.
