Code:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

This error is a known error when tns could not resolve the target.

Code:
${ECHO} "Debut Creating View"
${ECHO} "Please Enter the User Name:"
read user_name
${ECHO} "Please Enter the Connection String:"
read  con_string
${ECHO} "Please Enter the Password:"
read pwd
echo "${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s ${user_name}/${pwd}@${con_string}"
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s ${user_name}/${pwd}@${con_string} CREATE_VIEW.sql


I have added a line to check the variables passed to sqlplus. Pls check if its taking the correct varibales.

Also as far as i remember i used bellow syntax to execute a sql script from ksh
Code:
sqlplus  pop/pop@schema @CREATE_VIEW.sql
