Use code tags for code please, the Image button.

This particular script will only work in ksh because of the way its constructed. It puts read after a pipe, which is something you can do in ksh but not a vanilla bourne shell because of the opposite order they create subshells.

You could use $( ) braces instead of read here, which ought to work in both:

Code:
DATE=$(printf "%s\n" "set pages 0 serverout on feed off" \
          "SELECT sysdate from dual;" \
           |sqlplus -s username/password )
echo "date is $DATE"

NAME
img-xbm - Img, X Windows Bitmap Format (xbm) SYNOPSIS
package require Tk package require img::xbm ?1.4? image create photo ?name? ?options? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The package img::xbm is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::xbm. Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the X Windows Bitmap Format (xbm). More specifically img::xbm extends Tk's photo image type. The name of the new format handler is xbm. This handler does not provide additional configuration options. All of the above means that in a call like image create photo ?name? ?options? [1] Image data in xbm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically. [2] The format name xbm is recognized by the option -format. SEE ALSO
