Hi Everybody,

I am new to this group and also to the Unix shell scripting.
I need some one to throw some light on this issue. I am not sure whats wrong in this script.When I execute this korn shell script it gives me an error
0403-057 Syntax error at line 28 : `<' is not matched.

Verify that there is no space before before the here-document word 'EOF' on line 33 (the word 'EOF' must start at column 1).

Thanks Jean.
That worked liked a miracle.
