Help to set permission on password files in script

Hi Techies
I am stuck in a problem, I have written a script which is calling a second script which contains some command and password for quering on database. I do not want to disclose this command or specially password file. Please help..

Please have a look on directory structure and permissions on them...

Code:

$ ls -l
-rwxr-x---    1 user staff           254 Dec 14 08:21 C4jobs.sh
drwxr-x---    2 user staff           256 Dec 14 08:30 testing

$ls -l testing 
-rwxr-x---    1 user staff            38 Dec 10 07:08 dspas
-rwxr-x---    1 user staff          1521 Dec 14 08:14 jobstatus1.sh

$cat C4jobs.sh
#!/bin/ksh
SHOME=/home/user/testing

if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Please use this script like this :  /home/user/C4jobs.sh Job_No";
else
choice="$1";
fi
$SHOME/jobstatus1.sh $choice > dsjobresult 2>&1
----end of script -------------

Now as you can see I have given 750 permission to dir "testing" , files "C4jobs.sh", "jobstatus1.sh" and "dspas".

"dspas" contains the password where "jobstatus1.sh" contains the commands. I have given permission to user to execute "/home/user/C4jobs.sh" which is calling script " jobstatus1.sh" which is using the password from "dspas" files.

I want to secure dspas file as this file also have the permission of 750.
Please guide me to set the permission or if there is another way to secure, please share.

Thanks
Atul Singh

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
