Line gets splitted into 99 char long pieces
Hello, I have a script like follows. It reads a file, and with every line, it calls an "adapter" program, which just puts the line into MQ. When I run this locally, it works fine. When I run this on our company's server, one line is split into several pieces (99 characters long) and "adapter" program is called for each of this piece. I guess it is just some paramater, that is set up differently on my computer and on the server (like a buffer size). Any advice?

Code:
prevLANG=$LANG
export LANG=sk_SK 
export MQSERVER='something'
adapter=/path/mqput # mqput is a symlink to a binary
queue_name=$2
input_file=$3
exec 9<&0 # save STDIN handler to handler 9
exec < $input_file # permanent redirection of STDIN
read msg
until [ "$msg" = "" ]
do
echo "$msg" | $adapter $queue_name
echo "$msg"
read msg
done
exec 0<&9 9<&- # restore STDIN handler and free handler 9
export LANG=$prevLANG

You need to say what OS and what shell you are using. Since your script does not start out with a shebang like #! /usr/bin/ksh which shell is used is not controlled and you may be using different shells. Most shells have a read statement that are influenced by the variable IFS. So make sure you use the same shell with the same IFS setting on both systems. But my best guess is that the input file is different. And I really doubt that any ulimit is involved.
