ORACLE_HOME u had provided contains "/"
when substituting with sed
they have to be disabled with a "\"

following is just an example

echo "abc" | sed -e 's/abc/\/diqr001\/opt\/tools\/oracle\/product\/9.2.0/'

change ur script accordingly

NAME

       stl_mi - Software distribution master inventory files

DESCRIPTION

       Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated master inventory file. The master inventory
       file's name consists of the product's unique 3-letter name and a 3-digit version number with the string .mi for a suffix. The master inven-
       tory file is used by the software kitting program kits(1) in producing software distribution packages.

       A  master  inventory  file  contains one ASCII record, describing vendor-specified attribute information, for each file in the product kit.
       Each record is composed of three fields which must be separated by TAB characters. The fields are: A 16-bit unsigned integer.

	      Bit 1 is the v (volatility) bit; when it is set, changes to the existing copy of the file can occur during kit installation.  It	is
	      usually  set for log files required by applications. The remaining bits are reserved. Possible values for this field are therefore 0
	      or 2.  The dot-relative (./) pathname of the file described by this record.  Each pathname must  appear  only  once  in  the  master
	      inventory file.  Pathnames must begin with a period (.). Records must be sorted in ascending ASCII sequence on this field.  The name
	      of the subset containing the file. Standard system directories are not included in subsets; they	are  represented  by  the  keyword
	      RESERVED	in  place of a subset name. Files that exist in the product hierarchy but are not distributed as part of any subset have a
	      minus sign (-) in this field. Files that share a gnode (links) must all be included in the same subset.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows a section of the master inventory for  a  hypothetical  layered  product  kit:  0	.	 RESERVED  0	 ./usr/opt
       RESERVED  0     ./usr/opt/OAT100       OATDCB100  0     ./usr/opt/OAT100/bin   OATDCB100  0     ./usr/opt/OAT100/bin/attr      OATDCB100  0
