Iterating through a range of ints in ksh?

Question

How can I iterate through a simple range of ints using a for loop in ksh?

For example, my script currently does this...

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do

The following will work on AIX / Linux / Solaris ksh.

#!/bin/ksh

d=100

while (( $d < 200 ))
do
   echo "hdisk$d"
  (( d=$d+1 ))
done

Optionally if you wanted to pad to 5 places, i.e. 00100 .. 00199 you could begin with:

#!/bin/ksh
typeset -Z5 d
