How to delete the blank file while running a script.

Hi All,

When i am runing a script from home directory the output is fine, but whenever i am running a script from any of the directory the output is fine while a "Blank file" is created named as "1" in the particular directory.

Will you please suggest any options to fix this problem. It will be great help.

Regards,
Rashmi
