It really would help if I read your code more closely!
Not:
Code:
$ echo report_name
$ echo report_path

But:
Code:
echo $report_name
echo $report_path

It would also help if you read mine! Looking at this line:
Code:
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "no='sqlplu..." - rest of line ignored.

There's clearly still no command substitution there, just a single quote.

Please post the script now, after these changes, so we can start afresh. This is already dragging on more than I'd like Smilie

And I really would appreciate if you'd use code tags this time! You have TWO private messages showing you how to do that. It's not complicated.

line STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: line: XCU5.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. OPTIONS
None DESCRIPTION

To read a line from the keyboard and append it to a file, enter: echo 'Enter comments for the log:' echo ': c' line >>log This shell procedure displays the message: Enter comments for the log: It then reads a line of text from the keyboard and adds it to the end of the file log. The echo ': c' command displays a : (colon) prompt. See the echo command for information about the c escape sequence. SEE ALSO
Commands: echo(1), ksh(1), read(1), Bourne shell sh(1b), POSIX shell sh(1p) Functions: read(2) Standards: standards(5) line(1)
