could you define what you mean by 'normal' sh, pls?

and if you had run it under your 'normal' sh, what kind of issue you encountered?

well....its this part i guess...or maybe other part of the lines...as im a newbie..what i think was this line that cause the error....
cat $1.out | while read a
do
line="$line $a"
done

the line will not combine...as in the code here "$line Sa" will not execute
