Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Vbe,
sorry for i have not given all details. please find the below details.

We dont know the OS: HP-UX
We dont know what the calling script if for : weekly_us_push_rpts_tst.sh
We dont know what the called script does.. : vacation_quota_summary_detail.sh
We dont know what shell is used: k shell
In main script 'weekly_us_push_rpts_tst.sh' is runing based in two input files(.dat).
1.once file is there in appropriate location then i am calling oracle data base and using sqlloader loading the data into temp_tables
2.After loading data into the temp_tables, i am calling vacation_quota_summary_detail.sh script within main script to generate some report and send to requested users.
This actually the functionality of may script.
we know only the message you get:

have you tried separately to execute both programs?
who are you when running the first , second script? yes it may be important:
For I don't see any other user except oracle or a xxxdba be able to execute oracle stuff unless you have an sql script with user/passwd in it somewhere and if thats the case THEN it should never be read permission for others…

HPUX ksh is a very good ksh88 in the way it will not forgive any syntax error or undefined variable use
Since you will not show us your script, we only know that the line 275 is generating the error if you can trust that…
we still don't know if both script are together or not, if the second is in a directory with perms you gave above, then yes that script is inaccessible now…
I suggest you modify the first script by adding extra read statement and echo the Variables and all required stuff the script needs specially before line 275 then again at line 276 put a read and display all requisites…
use ksh -x

ok, let me try this way.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

Regards,
Krupa
