Sorry if this is mentioned above, I was trying to follow the whole "conversation"...

Does the script change between the times you deploy from one location to another?

You could use a "skeleton" script and only edit the variables.

Put a key word in the script so that when you deploy it, you only have to edit that key word. Don't change the already deployed script... only edit the skeleton and save it where you want it to be next... (new directory)...

ie I have the following control card detail.src that my users update via script.
R,detail.lis,0,<CO>,?,<DATERNG>,?,?,?,?,?,<ST>,1,0,60

the script prompts the user for a date rangs (from and to) and then a company code and state code then uses the skeleton file as input to create a new file.... :

sed -e "s/<DATERNG>/$DATE1,$DATE2/" \
-e "s/<CO>/$COMPANY/" \
-e "s/<ST>/$STATE/" <detail.src >detail.dat
Everytime it saves out a new file.

Does this help?
