I am inserting record in oracle database using shell script. When the sql part is directly written in the shell script the record is getting inserted. But when the same piece of code is added into a function, I am getting an error while execution "line 45: syntax error: unexpected end of file".
The file is containing only 44 lines of code.
The function which is called from a main function in which the code for insert is written is as follows. When the entire SQL section is removed from the function the program executes properly.
Any suggestions/inputs would be great help.
TIA
Code:
add ()
{
sqlplus -s "custom/custom"<<EOF
insert into name_list values ('$f_name','$l_name');
exit
EOF
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error in insertion"
add;
else
echo -e "\nRecord added successfully... Do you wish to add more(y/n) \c"
read choice
if [ $choice == "y" ]; then
add ;
else
clear
main ;
fi
fi
}

Hi friends,
I am using Sun Solaris 5.9. I want to take backup of 3 folders which are 50 GB in size totally using tar command on tapes. I am having DAT 72 tape. After initiating tar command (tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n /tmp/dir1/ /tmp/dir2/ /tmp/dir3/), tarring is stopped after 10 hrs (approx) and i am... (7 Replies)
I am taring to disk and get this message:
tar: write error: unexpected EOF
This message is normally associated with tape devices, not disk.
Here is the syntax:
tar -cf <tarfilename> /dir
Have you seen this message on disk tars? (4 Replies)

I need archive data from some tar files. I use the command "tar xvf
filename". For about half of the files I get the error message
"tar:read error: unexpected EOF".
The number of bytes extracted comes very close to the size of the
tar file.

tar: write error: unexpected EOF
I usually encounter this when I'm doing backup to Dat72 tape. Here's the command
gzip all files in a directory then tar cvfp /dev/rmt/0n files. Not all files are copied. Any things I should look at? Directory size?

return
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.
