Code:
# Function Declaration Start

echo -n "Enter Series Name : "
read series
echo -n "Bug Number : "
read bugNumber

n=`ade createview xyz -latest -series $series
n=`ade useview xyz`   ----> here is where my script is getting stuck
n=`ade begintrans bug\-$bugNumber`  ----> this command should run only after we are inside the view, which happens by running useview command successfully.


#EOF

This is my script.
These command are ADE commands. Ref # http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A60725_05/...er/iw04c03.htm

I do not want you to go into much details but all I want to do is, retain the path which is achieved by useview command and then continue supplying the begintrans command. Apparently useview command internally starts a subshell, so my doubt is how do i run following command in the subshell created by previous command and retain the paths.

Hope I am clear.

Please let me know if I can clarify more.

Thanks,
Dish
