To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
  1. Use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code.
    You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
  2. Avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts.
    Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
  3. Be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Didn't get your req fully..
but you can read last column by awk
Code:
awk '{if($NF="Y"){print "data type="$(NF-1)}else{print "whatever"}}' filename

aa Table a e i m Y db2 y
aa index b c d e N sql N

Now i have to open read the file record wise,

check if last column processy/n is yes,
then check the datatype
if it is db2
then connect to db2
check the otype column value
based on type of object i have to execute the below operations.

so my shell script should have all the possible commands present. my script should check type of the object, replace varaiables with values picked from record and execute the shell script.

ex create <SrcDB> <targetdb> <Sschema> <TSchema> <OName>

and then send the output to log and error files.

I am new to unix and not able to proceed any where.
Please help me.
