Sorry I did do what you said, but it didnt work, so I fiddled about with it, so I posted the wrong code last post.

This was the code when I tried your suggestion. But it still wouldnt work.

Code:
#!/bin/bash



function replaceDate()
{
sed 's/TO_DATE/CONVERT/g' $file >> $newFile
sed 's/TO_CHAR/CONVERT/g' $newfile>> $file
}

#Datatype conversion
function replaceWord()
{
sed 's/VARCHAR2/VARCHAR/g' $file >> $newFile
sed 's/NUMBER/NUMERIC/g' $newfile >> $file.$$
sed 's/DATE/DATETIME/g' $file.$$ >> $file
rm $newFile $file.$$
}
function menu()
{

echo "This program will convert Oracle schemas into SYBASE schemas."

}


menu

read -p "Please enter the file name that you wish to convert?" file
read -p "Please enter the name of the new file?" newFile


        replaceDate
        replaceWord
