ISQL Shell Script Question

I am trying to run the following Sybase SQL query in a shell script file. It isn't working although everything else in the file runs, and I can run queries from a file fine. For some reason, entering the query directly doesn't work. Any ideas?

#!/bin/sh

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin/isql -e -S$SERVER -Jcp437 -U$USER
-P$PASSWD<<EOF
update request
set status = 'ERROR'
where rid = '$RID'
go

EOF

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
