userid=xxxx
server=xxxx
db=xxxx
pwd=xxxx

isql -U ${userid} -S ${server} -P ${pwd} -D ${db} << EOF -o result.log
set nocount on
go
select top 10 * from table
go
EOF

echo "finished"

the file "result.log" is created successfully but however the message "finished" never shows up.
Yes, you are right! I removed the extra space character and now it works. thanks!
