Help with script

#!/bin/ksh

values=`cat testvalue`
DATABASES=`echo "select agroup,tgroup from acc_gen..agroups where tgroup in ( $values )
go
" | isql -Uro -Pcup0fj0e -Sdev1client420 | grep acc_`

echo "$DATABASES"

When, I run the script it gives me result like
acc_fund2 KLU_LP
acc_fund3 KLU_LTD

But what I need is this way: acc_fund2 KLU_LP acc_fund3 KLU_LTD

Lets consider that values variable has two values like
'KLU_LP',
'KLU_LTD'

Can someone help on this?

Thanks.

Vidhyadhar, it doesn't work. Actually I want to get values like "acc_fund2 KLU_LP acc_fund3 KLU_LTD". When I use echo $DATABASES it prints like acc_fund2 KLU_LP acc_fund3 KLU_LTD and when I use echo "$DATABASES" i get following out put:

acc_fund2 KLU_LP
acc_fund3 KLU_LTD

Any idea why and how resolve it?

There's a newline in the text. With the "normal" echo it is split on the characters in $IFS, and echo reassembles them using $OFS. With the double quotes it's passed as-is. Try this:
Code:
echo "$DATABASE" | tr '\n' ' '

echo "$DATABASE" | tr '\n' ' ' doesn't display anything at all.
