May I suggest you use anything other than the dash shell? maybe bash or ksh -- even busybox ash is better.

I also don't understand why you put BASH in the title when you don't have it. Not all shells are BASH. Only BASH is BASH.

dash is designed as a minimal shell for startup scripts, which intentionally lacks nearly all the features which make a shell nice to program in.

asadmin-create-jvm-options

asadmin-create-jvm-options(1AS) 				   User Commands				   asadmin-create-jvm-options(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-create-jvm-options, create-jvm-options - creates the JVM options from the Java configuration or profiler elements

SYNOPSIS

       create-jvm-options  --user  admin_user  [--password admin_password][--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename]
       [--terse=false]			      [--echo=false]			    [--interactive=true]			 [--profiler=false
       ](jvm_option_name=jvm_option_value)[:jvm_option_name=jvm_option_value]*

       Creates the JVM options in the Java configuration or Profiler elements of the domain.xml file. You can enter more than one JVM option sepa-
       rated by a colon (:) . If the JVM option starts with a dash (-) then use two dashes (--) before the operand to distinguish that JVM  option
       is an operand and not an option. JVM options are used to record the settings needed to get a particular profiler going.

       You must restart the server for the newly created JVM options to take affect. Use the start-domain command to restart the server domain.

OPTIONS

       --user		       authorized domain application server administrative username.

       --password	       password to administer the domain application server.

       --host		       machine name where the domain application server is running.

       --port		       port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

       --interactive	       if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

       --profiler	       indicates if the JVM options is for the profiler. Profiler must exist for this option to be true.

OPERANDS

       jvm_option_name=jvm_optithevleft side of the equal sign (=) is the JVM  option  name.  The  right  side	of  the  equal	sign  (=)  is  the
			       jvm_option_value.  Additionally,  you  can  use ":" as a delimiter for more than one jvm-option.  If the jvm-option
			       contains a ":", use the escape character  to offset the ":" delimiter.

       Example 1: Using create-jvm-options

       asadmin> create-jvm-options --user admin --password adminadmin
       --host localhost --port 4848 --profiler=false --DDebug=true:"-Xmx256m":"
       -Dcom.sun.aas.imqBin"="/export/as7se/imq/bin"
       Command create-jvm-options executed successfully

       Where the JVM options are created. The double dash (--) is used between --profiler options and the operand because - indicated the  end	of
       the options and the following text is the operand. The double dash (--) is necessary here since there are single dashes (i.e., --DDebug) in
       the operand. To distinguish between the options and the operand, the double dash (--) is used.

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command
