Code:
variable=`db2 -x "select col1 from table1 | awk '{print $1}'`

The problem is if i execute the above command without awk. I am getting an value.


I am sure that,


Code:
variable=`db2 -x "select col1 from table1"`

( with out awk )

also wont return anything and ther is some issue with the data base connectvity. Because the next awk statemnt is nothng to do much other than priting.
