Data help in running while loop inside a shell script
I have an input file at ./$1.txt
with content of seq numbers like :
1234567890
1234589700
.
.
so on..

I need to take each seq nbr from the input file ,run the query below:

select ackname,seqnbr from event where event_text like '%seqnbr( from the input file)'

and redirect the query output to a file :log.txt

this has to be done for all seq nbr's in the input file.
Can anyone please help me out in this:-( Smilie Smilie

I have tried it and it resulted an error:

SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "xargs prin..." - rest of line ignored.

code snippet I have used
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
db_user=`echo $DB_USER_NAME`
db_pwd=`echo $DB_PASSWORD`
db_sid=`echo $TWO_TASK`
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
  echo "\tUsage: MoveUsageProcessing  <BC Log file Name>"
  exit 1
  else
 BCLogFileName=$1
 fi
 grep -i  'MoveUsage daemon needs to run on this account before it can be billed'  $1 |awk -F\| '{for(i=0;++i<=NF;) if($i ~ /Acct/) print substr($i,6)}' > ./$1.txt
echo " log file path is : './$1.txt' ";
a=`sqlplus -s $db_user/$db_pwd@$db_sid << EOF
xargs printf "select  ACK_PARTY_NAME,bus_event_seq_nbr from bus_event where ack_party_name like 'MOVE_USAGE_DAEMON%' and event_data_text like'%%%s'\n" <$1.txt
EOF`

xargs and printf are shell commands, not SQL commands.

You need something like this (untested):
Code:
xargs printf "select ackname,seqnbr from event where event_text like '%%%s';\n" <$1.txt |
    sqlplus -s $db_user/$db_pwd@$db_sid

This assumes, that your SQLTERMINATOR is ';'.
