Sorry, I may not understand it.

I re-coded it as follows but it returns errors:

goldfish is the loginName
passcode is the password



Code:
#!/bin/ksh
export DATAFILE=/home/bueuat/hcbill/account/goldfish+passcode
export INFILE=${INFILE_PATH}/${JOBNAME}.txt
export JOBLOG=${LOG_PATH}/${JOBNAME}_${DATE}.log
export SQLLDR_CTL=${SQLLDR_CTL_PATH}/${JOBNAME}.ctl

#=================================================
# Get private data from data file readable by everyone.
#=================================================

read -r loginName loginName < "$DATAFILE"

#=================================================
# Run SQL Loader
#=================================================

sqlplus -S $loginName@BUEUAT/$password <<EOF

sqlldr $loginName@BUEUAT/$password log=$JOBLOG control=$SQLLDR_CTL data=$INFILE errors=10000 direct=true rows=10000

Even if I changed the line to :

Code:
 export DATAFILE=/home/bueuat/hcbill/account/goldfish passcode

The system returns this error :

Code:
 passcode: This is not an identifier.


Thanks much.

NAME
vdetaplib - Virtual Distributed Ethernet tap emulation library SYNOPSIS
No synopsis DESCRIPTION
vdetaplib is a library that emulates tap (tuntap level2 interface, see in kernel sources Documentation/networking/tun.c) and connects tap virtual interfaces to vde networks. To use it, the libvdetab.so library must be preloaded (sh, ksh or bash syntax): export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/vde2/libvdetap.so (csh, tchs syntax): setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/vde2/libvdetap.so If you want to divert all tap requests to a single vde_switch set the variable VDEALLTAP to the vde socket. (sh, ksh or bash syntax): export VDEALLTAP=/tmp/vde.ctl (csh, tchs syntax): setenv VDEALLTAP /tmp/vde.ctl It is possible to set each single interface to different vde_switches by setting the environment variable with the same name of the inter- face. (sh, ksh or bash syntax): export tap0=/tmp/vde.ctl export tap1=/tmp/myvde.ctl export ppc=/tmp/ppc.ctl (csh, tchs syntax): setenv tap0 /tmp/vde.ctl setenv tap1 /tmp/myvde.ctl setenv ppc /tmp/ppc.ctl It is also possible to specify port, group or mode for a given interface setting environment variables as in the following example. (sh, ksh or bash syntax): export tap0_port=5 export tap0_group=vde-net export tap0_mode=0660 (csh, tchs, syntax): setenv tap0_port 5 setenv tap0_group vde-net setenv tap0_mode 0660 The variable to set the specific interface is checked first then VDEALLTAP. VDEALLTAP thus works as a default choice for the vde switch to be used. If VDEALLTAP is not set and there is no specific environment variable (and for tun -- IFF_TUN interfaces) the kernel provided interface is used. In this latter case access to /dev/net/tun is required, generally root access. NOTICE
