Post your script snippet for better answers.
Code:
for i in `cat sql_output.txt`
do
echo "bip $i is running"
cd $SCRIPT_DIR
sh bip.sh 01 3 $i > /arbor/integ_fx/rahul_raj/itsr_5652/bip.txt
sleep 90
BILL_REF=`tail -2  /arbor/integ_fx/rahul_raj/itsr_5652/bip.txt | head -1 | cut -d  " " -f  6`
cd /arbor/integ_fx/xit_dev_CH/bin
ksh runXitInvoice_PROFORMA_integ  $BILL_REF 0 bp > /arbor/integ_fx/rahul_raj/itsr_5652/PROFORMA_integ.txt
done

I think bip.sh is designed to run in background.
Current workaround i am using is sleep but i want to avoid it.
Thanks

NAME
wait - await process completion SYNOPSIS
[pid] DESCRIPTION
If no argument is specified, waits until all processes (started with of the current shell have completed, and reports on abnormal termina- tions. If a numeric argument pid is given and is the process ID of a background process, waits until that process has completed. Other- wise, if pid is not a background process, exits without waiting for any processes to complete. Because the system call must be executed in the parent process, the shell itself executes without creating a new process (see wait(2)). Command-Line Arguments supports the following command line arguments: The unsigned decimal integer process ID of a command, whose termination is to wait for. WARNINGS
Some processes in a 2-or-more-stage pipeline may not be children of the shell, and thus cannot be waited for. SEE ALSO
csh(1), ksh(1), sh-posix(1), sh(1), wait(2). STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
