you are saving the return value in variable 'a', and not SQL...

Replace echo ${SQL} with $a and execute

Assuming that there is a table called lfs$ta_process we need to protect the dollar sign from the shell with a backslash.

You may find that after initial debugging "sqlplus -s" produces less garbage feedback.
