I have chopped my case statementt out of my .profile and put it in another script called setsid. The case statement works when run from my .profile but not from my setsid file.
All that the script does is set an environmental variable based on user input. The variable is ORACLE_SID.
Here is my script.
The problem is that when I run this script the ORACLE_SID stays the same and does not change.
when I set -vx I notice that th list of commands associated with the reponse do run, yet the variable does not change.
i keep getting the following error with the code segment below when i try to compile the program.
parse error before '('
parse error before ')'
stray '\' in program
this is the code segment and the error is on the second line of the segment

setsid
setsid(2) System Calls Manual setsid(2)NAME
setsid - Sets the process group ID
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t setsid( void );
Application developers may want to specify an #include statement for <sys/types.h> before the one for <unistd.h> if programs are being
developed for multiple platforms. The additional #include statement is not required on Tru64 UNIX systems or by ISO or X/Open standards,
but may be required on other vendors' systems that conform to these standards.
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
setsid(): XPG4, XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The setsid() function creates a new session when the calling process is not a process group leader. The calling process then becomes the
session leader of this session, becomes the process leader of the new process group, and has no controlling terminal. The process group ID
of the calling process is set equal to its process ID. The calling process becomes the only process in the new process group and the only
process in the new session.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the setsid function returns the value of the new process group ID. Otherwise, a value of (pid_t)-1 is returned
and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The setsid() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions: The calling process is already the process group
leader, or the process group ID of another process matches the process ID of the calling process.
