Full Discussion: Want to use the output of Select statement in Unix script

If you want to send values to a SQL script as a command line parameter then call your sqlplus command with arguments as follows

sqlplus username/password argument1 argument2 ..

and within the sqlplus commands refer to the arguments as positional parameters as &1, &2 ..

Also if you want to send values from the sql scripts back into the calling environment you would have to write PL/SQL blocks coded into sql scripts which can communicate values from the sqlplus exeuctions as bind_variables. Then you can use the exit command as follows within the PL/SQL block and pass the bind variable back to the calling environment.

EXIT :BIND_VAR;

DB2_STMT_ERROR(3)							 1							 DB2_STMT_ERROR(3)

db2_stmt_error - Returns a string containing the SQLSTATE returned by an SQL statement

SYNOPSIS

       string db2_stmt_error ([resource  $stmt])

DESCRIPTION

	Returns a string containing the SQLSTATE value returned by an SQL statement.

	If  you  do  not  pass a statement resource as an argument to db2_stmt_error(3), the driver returns the SQLSTATE value associated with the
       last attempt to return a statement resource, for example, from db2_prepare(3) or db2_exec(3).

	To learn what the SQLSTATE value means, you can issue the following command at a DB2 Command Line  Processor  prompt:  db2  '?	$sqlstate-
       value'. You can also call db2_stmt_errormsg(3) to retrieve an explicit error message and the associated SQLCODE value.

PARAMETERS

	      o $stmt
		- A valid statement resource.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a string containing an SQLSTATE value.

       db2_conn_error(3), db2_conn_errormsg(3), db2_stmt_errormsg(3).
