Passing the parameters using a function
Hi All,
I am new to shell scripting required some help in passing the parameter value to the shell script.
I am writing a shell script, in the script I have created two functions as below.
first function
get_trend_ids () {
Here I am connecting to the database and getting all the trend id's in a trend_ids.txt file, this file will be stored in /root/edw/trend/srcfiles
}
second function
Load_trend_data () {
Here I am connecting to the teradata database and calling a teradata store procedure as below
EXEC SP_TREND_DATA_LOAD( trend_ids) }
Now the file which I have generated using the first function has to be used in the place of trend_ids which is highlighted with red color below.the procedure has to execute for all the values which are present in the trend_id.txt
EXEC SP_TREND_DATA_LOAD( trend_ids) }
I tried using while read loop here , but I don't don't know how to use that here.
Can anyone tell me the above part, how can I code in the shell script.
Trend_ids's will have the below values
1
2
3
44
66666
5555
Thx,
Shruthi

exit(1) User Commands exit(1)
NAME
exit, return, goto - shell built-in functions to enable the execution of the shell to advance beyond its sequence of steps
SYNOPSIS
sh
exit [n]
return [n]
csh
exit [ ( expr )]
goto label
ksh
*exit [n]
*return [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. If n is omitted the exit status is that of
the last command executed (an EOF will also cause the shell to exit.)
return causes a function to exit with the return value specified by n. If n is omitted, the return status is that of the last command exe-
cuted.
csh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit, either with the value of the status variable or with the value specified by the
expression expr.
The goto built-in uses a specified label as a search string amongst commands. The shell rewinds its input as much as possible and searches
for a line of the form label: possibly preceded by space or tab characters. Execution continues after the indicated line. It is an error to
jump to a label that occurs between a while or for built-in command and its corresponding end.
ksh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. The value will be the least significant 8
bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the exit status is that of the last command executed. When exit occurs when executing
a trap, the last command refers to the command that executed before the trap was invoked. An end-of-file will also cause the shell to exit
except for a shell which has the ignoreeof option (See set below) turned on.
return causes a shell function or '.' script to return to the invoking script with the return status specified by n. The value will be the
least significant 8 bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the return status is that of the last command executed. If return
is invoked while not in a function or a '.' script, then it is the same as an exit.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
