Ugh, Ok thank you. I made some updates:

My script (rok.sh)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ROK_NO=$1
RPT=/tmp/test
sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\1'"$ROK_NO"'/' '$RPT'
#sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\12388055/' '/tmp/test'

My file (/tmp/test)

Code:
SELECT: ROK_NUMBER EQ 2388085

When I run the command in terminal

Code:
$ sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\12388123/' '/tmp/test'
SELECT: ROK_NUMBER EQ 2388123
$

When I run the script from terminal

Code:
$ bash rok.sh 2388123
: No such file or directory
$

Thanks for taking a look. I'm not sure what else I can do explain.

Ok I will try that. I am using Textpad on my Windows PC then FTP the script file over to a Linux server where I'm trying to execute the script. I was just looking at this and was wondering what it all meant Smilie

$ sh -x rok.sh 2388123

Dang man, that definitely did the trick. I didn't think I could mess up 2 variables and it was really making me sad. You saved the day -- thank you!

SELECT 
INTO(7) SQL Commands SELECT INTO(7) NAME
SELECT INTO - create a new table from the results of a query SYNOPSIS
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT [ ON ( expression [, ...] ) ] ] * | expression [ AS output_name ] [, ...] INTO [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] [ TABLE ] new_table [ FROM from_item [, ...] ] [ WHERE condition ] [ GROUP BY expression [, ...] ] [ HAVING condition [, ...] ] [ { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT } [ ALL ] select ] [ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC | USING operator ] [, ...] ] [ LIMIT { count | ALL } ] [ OFFSET start ] [ FOR UPDATE [ OF tablename [, ...] ] ] INPUTS TEMPORARY TEMP If specified, the table is created as a temporary table. Refer to CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] for details. new_table The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to be created. All other inputs are described in detail for SELECT [select(7)]. OUTPUTS Refer to CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] and SELECT [select(7)] for a summary of possible output messages. DESCRIPTION
SELECT INTO creates a new table and fills it with data computed by a query. The data is not returned to the client, as it is with a normal SELECT. The new table's columns have the names and data types associated with the output columns of the SELECT. Note: CREATE TABLE AS [create_table_as(7)] is functionally equivalent to SELECT INTO. CREATE TABLE AS is the recommended syntax, since SELECT INTO is not standard. In fact, this form of SELECT INTO is not available in PL/pgSQL or ecpg(1), because they interpret the INTO clause differently. COMPATIBILITY
SQL92 uses SELECT ... INTO to represent selecting values into scalar variables of a host program, rather than creating a new table. This indeed is the usage found in PL/pgSQL and ecpg(1). The PostgreSQL usage of SELECT INTO to represent table creation is historical. It's best to use CREATE TABLE AS for this purpose in new code. (CREATE TABLE AS isn't standard either, but it's less likely to cause confu- sion.) SQL - Language Statements 2002-11-22 SELECT INTO(7)
