This looks like you use DB2, so I will use examples for this database.

When a shell interprets commands, it consumes quotes to keep words together as a single token. The quotes will not be passed along to called programs. So the following two lines are identical:
Code:
db2 select something from mytable where status='1'
db2 select something from mytable where status=1

If you want the single quotes preserved and passed to the db2 command, you have to protect them with double quotes or escape them with backslashes, like
Code:
db2 select something from mytable where "status='1'"
db2 "select something from mytable where status='1'"
db2 select something from mytable where status=\'1\'

Now, if you want the where clause to come from a variable, use this form:
Code:
WHERE="Status='1'"
db2 select something from mytable where "$WHERE"

Hope this helps.
