Exit out of the Script Command inside a Script

I'm new to Linux. I have a bash script that invokes an executable. I'd like use the SCRIPT command inside the script and exit out of the script command after it writes to the file. Does this make sense? Below is an example of the contents of my script.


#BEGIN SCRIPT
script typescript
./xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ksh # executable file
exit 1
!
done

#END OF SCRIPT

What was the point?

In batch you have no display nor keyboard to read/write to and interactive programs in batch will bring out errors such as :
Code:
 $ : error reading termio on stdin: Not a typewriter

If you wanted to see (if any ...) output of the commands passed,
Then you should write something like:
./xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ksh >>/var/tmp/xxxxx.ksh.log 2>&1

And go and see if it ouput something

I'm looping through different oracle databases and running some PL/SQL scripts. Currently there are no database links so I can't run the script on one DB across many. I was hoping to capture the output of the PL/SQL in one file.
