:
else
touch $DIRNAME/cvs_users_defaults.log
fi


#Checking to see if a data file(colids.txt) exists for a load.
if [ -a $DIRNAME/$columnIdFile ]
then
INCOLFILE=$columnIdFile;
echo "Using file $INCOLFILE as input for column id";
echo " ";
echo "Started Process on $TIME" >> $LOGFILE
echo "Calling procedure to initialize users"


for colId in `cat $INCOLFILE`
do
echo "Storing User Defaults for User " $colId >> $LOGFILE

integer i=0
awk '{print $1}' colids.txt | while read item; do
myarray[$i]=$item
i=$i+1
done

integer j=0

echo "Ending process of setting user defaults at $TIME " >> $LOGFILE
echo "Check the log file at $LOGFILE"
exit 0
