Issue with script in linux but in unix works

I have this simple script:

Code:
#! /usr/bin/sh
#*****************************************************************************
# *** get_input (question variable) ***
#*****************************************************************************
get_input ()
{
echo "${BOLD}${1} : "
read INPUT_VAR
echo "${OFF}"
export ${2}_INPUT=$INPUT_VAR
}
# End of get_input ()
#*****************************************************************************
# *** end get_input (question variable) ***
#*****************************************************************************
get_input "Please provide instance name (e.g. backp101) " INSTANCE
export INSTANCE_INPUT=`echo $INSTANCE_INPUT | awk '{print tolower( $1 )}'`
export INSTANCE=`echo $INSTANCE_INPUT`
DATABASE_CHECK_OK=N
cat /opt/oracle/admin/etc/oratab | while read line
do
   INSTANCE_CHECK=`echo $line | cut -c 1-8`
if [ "$INSTANCE_CHECK" = "$INSTANCE_INPUT" ]
then
   echo "Y"
   DATABASE_CHECK_OK=Y
   break
else
   echo "N"
   DATABASE_CHECK_OK=N
fi
done
echo "DATABASE_CHECK_OK:" $DATABASE_CHECK_OK

the problem is with the variable DATABASE_CHECK_OK
if the variable get DATABASE_CHECK_OK = Y (change the value inside the if)
and the while ends the variable still having N as value Smilie
this is the output that I'm getting:
Code:
Please provide instance name (e.g. backp101)  :
eddyt101 <-- input value
N
N
Y
DATABASE_CHECK_OK: N

this is the oratab content:
Code:
bryat101:/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.1:N
bryat201:/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.1:Y
eddyt101:/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.1:N
mirlt101:/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.1:Y

sorry for my english Smilie hope you can understand Smilie

any help in what is wrong? the script is working OK in HPUX
this is the so version:
Code:
Linux etlx1103.eu.pg.com 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:41:38 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...] DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids. For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by its first 46 bits. The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits, that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits with far fewer objects. If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits. OPTIONS
--predict Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm. --ignore-midx don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict. EXAMPLE
$ bup margin Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done. 40 40 matching prefix bits 1.94 bits per doubling 120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining 4.19338e+18 times larger is possible Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets like yours, all in one repository, and we would expect 1 object collision. $ bup margin --predict PackIdxList: using 1 index. Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done. 915 of 1612581 (0.057%) SEE ALSO
