General information
I am Checkmk employee.
The mk_db2.aix agent plugin did not work on a recent AIX 7.2
During a session with a customer we were able to make it work again.
We found and fixed around 3 problems.
One of them is a typo in a if statement that was in the code since 2015.

Proposed changes
Please just have a look into a side by side diff.
Line 1 ksh93 seems to be more current than ksh
Line 68 tried to extract the user home directory. The grep at the end does not make sense, it assumes that the homedir also contains the instancename/username which is not always the case. I made the first grep more specific with -w and also adding the colon : to not to match users that contain the value of $INSTANCE as substring.
Line 72, we added to - because this gives a completer environment, a login environ.
I this case the $INSTANCE users SHELL is csh. csh is very limited and can not interpret the code in the EOT block.
Therefore we let the EOT heredocument block run also in ksh93.
