#!/usr/bin/ksh

g_JOB_SCRIPT_1=dev_pre_session.sh
g_JOB_SCRIPT_2=dev_generate_btch_id.sh
g_JOB_SCRIPT_3=dev_generate_dev_load_id.sh

g_PROGRAM_NM=`basename $0`
g_PROGRAM_NM=`echo $g_PROGRAM_NM | sed 's/\.sh$//'`

#number of parameters passed to the script
echo Number of parameters passed : $#

if [ $# > 0 ]
then
g_JOB_NAME=$1
else
echo "Error: in dev_pre_session_task- Missing <JOB_NAME> $# Parameter..."
exit 1
fi

if [ $# > 1 ]
then
g_JOB_TYPE=$2
else
echo "Error: in dev_pre_session_task - Missing <JOB_TYPE> Parameter..."
exit 1
fi

echo parameters are $g_JOB_NAME, $g_JOB_TYPE

echo Starting pre session task for Job: $g_JOB_NAME

$SCRIPT_DIR/$g_JOB_SCRIPT_1 $g_JOB_NAME $g_JOB_TYPE

when I pass any 2 parameters it always says:

Number of parameters passed: 1
and the job_name as x

Can some body help?

Try using

[ $# -gt 1 ]

the ">" redirects stdout

Thanks. I will try that and let you know. But how come it's taking it as X then.

dsravan · #4 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007

Unfortunately, its still taking the paramter as x instead of the paramters being passed. Any suggestion?

porter · #5 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007

Try debugging by changing the first line to

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh -x
