The error here is that you probably were using your script with that file as input your_script < khare_DAT or?
If you do that it will use the lines from the file instead of asking for input. Or I'm not shure exactly what you tested, but perhaps you mix up the input and the name of the file, if you want the file "khare_DAT" to be used you should only enter "khare", and not use the file as input to the script.

Now I created a file by vi command , file name as D_DAT and content inside this is FW
Now when I ran the script
It ask for file mane which I gave as a D_DAT . now what I see now is instead of displaying “FW” it is again asking the age .
Now I pass 45 for the age.
After this I noticed that script has created the a new file as D_DAT_DAT.
Here you should have used only "D" as input, if you use "D_DAT" it will create a file named "D_DAT_DAT" because of
Code:
echo $AGE > ${USERNAME}_DAT

mdbfontset

mdbFontset(5)							 The m17n Library						     mdbFontset(5)

NAME

       mdbFontset - Fontset

DESCRIPTION

       The m17n library loads a fontset definition from the m17n database by the tags <fontset, FONTSET-NAME>. The plist format of the data is as
       follows:

       FONTSET ::= PER-SCRIPT * PER-CHARSET * FALLBACK *

       PER-SCRIPT ::= '(' SCRIPT PER-LANGUAGE + ')'

       PER-LANGUAGE ::= '(' LANGUAGE FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT + ')'

       PER-CHARSET ::= '(' CHARSET FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT + ')'

       FALLBACK ::= FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT

       FONT-SPEC-ELEMENT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC [ FLT-NAME ] ')'

       FONT-SPEC ::=
	    '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
		  [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
		REGISTRY
	     [ OTF-SPEC ] [ LANG-SPEC ] ')'

       SCRIPT is a symbol of script name (e.g. latin, han) or nil. LANGUAGE is a two-letter symbol of language name code defined by ISO 639 (e.g.
       ja, zh) or nil.

       FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
       See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

       OTF-SPEC is a symbol specifyng the required OTF features. The symbol name has the following syntax.

	 OTF-SPEC-NAME ::= ':otf=' SCRIPT LANGSYS ? GSUB-FEATURES ? GPOS-FEATURES ?

	 SCRIPT ::= SYMBOL
	 LANGSYS ::= '/' SYMBOL

	 GSUB-FEATURES ::= '=' FEATURE-LIST ?

	 GPOS-FEATURES ::= '+' FEATURE-LIST ?

	 FEATURE-LIST ::= '~' ? FEATURE ( ',' '~' ? FEATURE ',' )

       Here, FEATURE is a four-letter Open Type feature.

       LANG-SPEC is a symbol specifying the required language support. The symbol name has the following syntax.

	 LANG-SPEC-NAME ::= ':lang=' LANG

       Here, LANG is a two or three-letter ISO-639 language code.

       FLT-NAME is a name of Font Layout Table (Font Layout Table).

EXAMPLE

       This is an example of PER_SCRIPT.

       (han
	 (ja
	   ((jisx0208.1983-0)))
	 (zh
	   ((gb2312.1980-0)))
	 (nil
	   ((big5-0))))

       It instructs the font selector to use a font of registry 'jisx0208.1983-0' for a 'han' character (i.e. a character whose Mscript property
       is 'han') if the character has Mlanguage text property 'ja' in an M-text and the character is in the repertories of such fonts. Otherwise,
       try a font of registry 'gb2312.1980-0' or 'big5-0'. If that 'han' character does not have Mlanguage text property, try all three fonts.

       See the function mdraw_text() for the detail of how a font is selected.
