Hi Mona,
The exact script what I tested is
#!/bin/ksh
$file="/A/B/C/D/E/"mat.dtd
sed 's/^\(.*\)$/&\|D/' mat.dtd > $file_temp
mv "$file_temp" "xdm.dtd"

and the output I am getting is(as on the screen)

./test1.ksh[2]: =/A/B/C/D/E/mat.dtd: not found
a|b|s|C|r|q|r|D
b|s|r|e|o|s|k|D
p|i|e|w|m|e|t|D
1|2|3|4|5|6|g|D
Z|Q|R|T|S|L|j|D
1|d|x|a|p|y|m|D
mv: : cannot access: No such file or directory

When I am using ur first solution ,its works fine, but for that I need to work in the same shell.
For the above code,it is not able to access the source file(mat.dtd) from the location mentioned.It is taking the contents of the file only becos I am running code in the same dir and also not able to move back to the original file.

Could u pls find the mistake I am doing???

Thanks again.

NAME

       dacs_version - display DACS version information

SYNOPSIS

       dacs_version [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacs_version web service displays version information about DACS and other third-party packages that have been compiled into DACS. If
       XML output is selected, a document conforming to dacs_version.dtd[2] is returned.

	   Note
	   This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsversion(1)[3]. Because dacs_admin(8)[4] provides the same functionality and more,
	   dacs_version may be removed in a future release.

OPTIONS

   Web Service Arguments
       The standard CGI arguments[5] are understood.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.
