I am working on AIX version
uname -a
AIX aix-host 2 5 00C3BCEA4C00

The command history is not working in bash shell.
Can someone please note me how do I configure bash to accpet arrow up
and down keys for previously executed commands.

Thanks,
Tan

bash should work work with cursor keys out-of-the-box. What do you get
from 'history'?

Make sure you actually use the Bash ;-) Also check
your $HOME, if there is a .bash_history, possibly
with the wrong permissions. If no .bash_history is
present it's likely you're not using the bash.
