Return value to shell script, depending on status of pl/sql udpate

Hi All,

I need to return value to the main shell script, depending on whether the UPDATE command in the embedded pl/sql is successfu or not.

Code:
 
 
#!bin/ksh
 
updateStatus=`sqlplus --conn details-- << EOF
 
DECLARE
var_rows NUMBER;
 
BEGIN
update table_name 
set column_name = 'abc'
where condition;
 
var_rows := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
 
if var_rows = 1
then
        commit;
        ------Here i want to return value as 1 or true to unix variable updateStatus---------;
else
        rollback;
        ------Here i want to return value as 2 or false to unix variable updateStatus---------;

end if;

 
END;
/
exit;

EOF`
 
echo "update status : " $updateStatus

The rest of the script works fine, except for the return part
Please help Smilie

Thanks,
Ritu

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)). FILES
