Arun, I seem to remember an environment setting that 'switched' the behavior of certain utilities to Berkeley mode - or it may have been a PATH settings. I had exactly the same issue you had and was able to run a 'ps' version that gave me what you are looking for... This was about 8 years ago and on HPUX 10, so I may be mistaken. Blame it on loss of memory as we all get older, but this is a path worth pursuing.
