why ask the user to enter the date? if you're supposed to used the system's date just do

Code:
codate=`date`

i haven't run the your code but it seems correct... what's the problem, you're not able to find the relevant line in the database? have you tried using grep?

i looked at the sed command, if you're trying to find the pattern you need the p command (at least you do on my system)

Code:
/$copart/s/in/out/pg
