Thanks for your answer.

I guess I need to put it this way. Assume I am running the Test.sh which is a Unix script and in the middle of Test.sh I call the sqlplus and the sqlplus successfully runs one script that has "exit" command which is the exit command for sqlplus and reaches the "exit" command and terminates the sqlplus. (I guess here is exit with return code zero otherwise I would see sqlplus prompt) but still doesn't get back to the Test.sh because my next statement after sqlplus is just a simple below code:
echo "Test.sh done!" > Test.sh.log
But this line never been executed.

I am a novice in Unix world. If I get disappointed, I get back to AS/400... I guess who cares...

Thanks a lot.

Test::Exit(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Exit(3pm)

NAME
Test::Exit - Test that some code calls exit() without terminating testing VERSION
version 0.03 SYNOPSIS
use Test::More tests => 4; use Test::Exit; exits_ok { exit 1; } "exiting exits" never_exits_ok { print "Hi!"; } "not exiting doesn't exit" exits_zero { exit 0; } "exited with success" exits_nonzero { exit 42; } "exited with failure" DESCRIPTION
Test::Exit provides some simple tools for testing that code does or does not call "exit()", while stopping code that does exit at the point of the "exit()". Currently it does so by means of exceptions, so it will not function properly if the code under test calls "exit()" inside of an "eval" block or string. The only criterion tested is that the supplied code does or does not call "exit()". If the code throws an exception, the exception will be propagated and you will have to call it yourself. "die()"ing is not exiting for the purpose of these tests. exits_ok Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" at some point. exits_nonzero Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" with a nonzero value. exits_zero Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" with a zero (successful) value. never_exits_ok Tests that the supplied code completes without calling "exit()".
