For the first loop, you can read a single variable to hold the account names and set the loop on that:-
Code:
printf "Enter Account name[s]: "
read A
for i in ${A}
do
   printf "Working on account ${i}\n"
done

The second loop confuses me a little. Assuming that you are looking for all process, you can slim this down too:-
Code:
ps -ef | grep BLANKET.CANCE[L] | cut -f2 -d" " | while read a x b
do
   procwdx $x
done

The a grabs the first item on the line, the x and the b grabs the rest.

The square brackets in the grep part of the line form an expression with only one option, i.e. and L, but it means that you will not match the grep command itself.

It is possible that you code as it stands is getting the process id of the running script. Pop in a simple message at the beginning to see if that matches.:-
Code:
printf "Current process is $$\n"



I hope that this helps,
Robin

zegrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
