Thank you RudiC and bakunin, but it did not solve my problem

Hello both,

Thank you for writing back, the last line i.e. head -35 should return with a record like I am mentioning below - Record 1:

Code:


	HTML Code:
	[record
  bdfo_len      73
  bdfo_key      "     200000016"
  bdfo_param_no "000"
  parm01        NULL
  parm02        NULL
  parm03        NULL
  parm04        NULL
  parm05        NULL
  parm06        NULL
  parm07        NULL
  parm08        NULL
  parm09        NULL
  parm13        NULL
  parm16        NULL
  parm017       NULL
  parm18        NULL
  parm93        NULL
  parm94        NULL
  parm96        NULL
  parm97        NULL
  parm83        NULL
  header        [record
                  bdfo_run_date     41991
                  bdfo_file_id      "GYFL3027"
                  bdfo_centre_id    "G"
                  bdfo_sbi_file_ind "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"]
  trailer       NULL
  data          NULL]

which is of 35 lines and constitues to first record of the file we are trying to read using m_dump, I need to place the file name using command line and as per Bakunin's suggestion I tried using below code but it did not work -

Code:

param1 = $inputfile1
param2  = $inputfile2
param3 = $inputfile3
header_date_14=$(m_dump /wload/baot/app/data_abinitio/serial/uk_cust/ukrb_ukba_acnt_bde27_src.dml $'$param1' | head -35)
header_date_15=$(m_dump /wload/baot/app/data_abinitio/serial/uk_cust/ukrb_ukba_acnt_bde27_src.dml $'$param2' | head -35)
header_date_16=$(m_dump /wload/baot/app/data_abinitio/serial/uk_cust/ukrb_ukba_acnt_bde27_src.dml $'$param3' | head -35)

Once this command is executed, I need to take out bdfo_run_date 41991 to display it...

Thank you in advance !
