On executing the script, sqlplus gets open but the script gets hanged, it does not exit from sqlplus.

How to exit from sqlplus so that script can execute furhter ?

The script ain't hung; it's waiting for you to enter your SQL command!

Think about it - if you type this on the Unix/Linux prompt :

sqlplus $user_name/$password@$tns
