How about:

Code:
while [ -z "${decsite:=$1}" ]; do
  printf "Input site number: "
  read decsite
done

while [ -z "${rawtype:=$2}" ]; do
  printf "Input type: "
  read rawtype
done

while [ -z "${daterange:=$3}" ]; do
  printf "Input date: "
  read daterange
done

NAME
wsreg_can_access_registry - determine access to product install registry SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ...-lwsreg [library ...] #include <fcntl.h> #include <wsreg.h> int wsreg_can_access_registry(int access_flag); DESCRIPTION
The wsreg_can_access_registry() function is used to determine what access, if any, an application has to the product install registry. The access_flag argument can be one of the following: O_RDONLY Inquire about read only access to the registry. O_RDWR Inquire about modify (read and write) access to the registry. RETURN VALUES
The wsreg_can_access_registry() function returns non-zero if the specified access level is permitted. A return value of 0 indicates the specified access level is not permitted. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Initialize the registry and determine if access to the registry is permitted. #include <fcntl.h> #include <wsreg.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int result; if (wsreg_initialize(WSREG_INIT_NORMAL, NULL)) { printf("conversion recommended, sufficient access denied "); } if (wsreg_can_access_registry(O_RDONLY)) { printf("registry read access granted "); } else { printf("registry read access denied "); } if (wsreg_can_access_registry(O_RDWR)) { printf("registry read/write access granted "); } else { printf("registry read/write access denied "); } } USAGE
The wsreg_initialize(3WSREG) function must be called before calls to wsreg_can_access_registry() can be made. ATTRIBUTES
