Without being able to see your error messages and the scripts themselves, it becomes very hard to say what is going wrong.

It is not throughing any error on screen, i can say simply escaping (or may not executing) those sftp steps but executing other commands after sftp.

Do you mind showing both scripts? You ask for more info on this thread https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...#post302266424 so why don't you give more helpful info in your case? Smilie

Below piece of command:
<<<
B.sh
------
sftp $hostName <<EndFTP
cd /opt/DSOI/logfiles/report
get DSOI_report.log.$DAY
EndFTP
>>>
When i am executing this, it is working fine...But when i am calling script B from within A it is not giving the required result!!!

A.sh
-----
{
B.sh
}

Ok, B looks fine if the variables are somehow substituted with values what should be the case since it works as you say when being executed directly.

Can we see A too maybe?

Edit: Btw. you can just add a "set -x" into A so you will see what's going on hopefully.

For A u can think like below:

A.sh
{
DATE = date +'%m';(say)

B.sh <hostname> $DATE -> here B is getting called, with 2 parameters

}
