Data UNIX File handling -Issue in reading a file

I have been doing automation of daily check activity for a server, i have been using sqls to retrive the data and while loop for reading the data from the file for several activities. BUT i got a show stopper the below one.. where the data is getting store in $temp_file, but not being read by while loop. can anyone help in this..wots wrong with this.

Code:
TEMP_FILE=store.tmp
sqlplus -s ${DB_USER}/${DB_PASS}@${DB} > $TEMP_FILE <<EOF
        set pages 0
        set line 120
        SET FEEDBACK OFF
        SELECT username,machine,count(*)as sessions FROM v\$session WHERE status='INACTIVE' GROUP BY username,machine;
        exit; #this is storing result perfectly in file $TEMP_FILE
  EOF
        {
         while read rec; do
         #if [ "${rec}" != "" ] ; then
        echo "line is :$rec"       # nothing is coming (reading)
        usern=`echo $rec|awk '{print $1;}'`
        mach=`echo $rec|awk '{print $2;}'`
        sesn=`echo $rec|awk '{print $3;}'`
        echo "$usern : $mach: $sesn" # nothing is coming
          #fi
        done } < $TEMP_FILE

#Running with set -x /set -v output is as follows
Code:
+ sqlplus -s user/pa55word@myDB
+ 1> store.tmp 0<<
        set pages 0
        set line 120
        SET FEEDBACK OFF
        SELECT username,machine,count(*)as sessions FROM v$session WHERE status='INACTIVE' GROUP BY username,machine;
        exit;
  EOF
        {
         while read rec; do
         #if [ "" != "" ] ; then
        echo "line is :"
        usern=+ awk {print $1;}
+ awk {print $1;}
+ echo
+ echo
 mach=+ awk {print $2;}
+ awk {print $2;}
+ echo
+ echo
        sesn=+ awk {print $3;}
+ awk {print $3;}
+ echo

NAME
sysstat - sysstat configuration file. DESCRIPTION
This file is read by sa1(8) and sa2(8) shell scripts from the sysstat's set of tools. It consists of a sequence of shell variable assign- ments used to configure sysstat logging. The variables and their meanings are: HISTORY The number of days during which a daily data file or a report should be kept. Data files or reports older than this number of days will be removed by the sa2(8) shell script. COMPRESSAFTER Number of days after which daily data files are to be compressed, either by gzip or bzip2. SADC_OPTIONS Options that should be passed to sadc(8). With these options (see sadc(8) manual page), you can select some additional data which are going to be saved in daily data files. These options are used only when a new data file is created. They will be ignored with an already existing one. FILES
