The following script seems to meet all your requirements:
i.e. works when executable is:
in an absolute path
in a relative path
in a path specified by the PATH avariable.
#! /bin/ksh
# This script displays the path name of the script itself
# from the command argument $0
name=$0
bname=`basename $name`
ipth=${name%$bname}
if [ "$bname" = "$name" ]
then
# Script somewhere on the path
fpth=`whence $name`
pth=${fpth%/$bname}
else
cd $ipth
pth=$PWD
fi
print "Path to $0 is $pth"
