Something weird is happening. It is getting assigned but when called for, i am not able to retrive the value. Check the logs below.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
tr '=' ' ' < Dallysales.prm | while read parm value
 do
 case $parm in
 'GP_BATCH_TRK_ID') Tracking_ID=${value} ;;
 'GP_IP_FILE1') File=${value} ;;
 'GP_SLS_DT_CURR_YR') Sales_date=${value} ;;
 'GP_COUNTRY') Country=${value} ;;
 'GP_BUSINSS_UNIT') BU=${value};;
 esac
 done
+ tr = ' '
+ read parm value
+ case $parm in
+ Tracking_ID=56
+ read parm value
+ case $parm in
+ File='/appl/data/Input/US/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD*.txt'
+ read parm value
+ case $parm in
+ Sales_date=20110524
+ read parm value
+ case $parm in
+ Country=US
+ read parm value
+ case $parm in
+ BU=GMUS
+ read parm value
echo $Tracking_ID;
+ echo
echo $File;
+ echo
echo $Sales_date;
+ echo
echo $Country;
+ echo
echo $BU;

Are you running it as an executable, or sourcing the file with '.'?

Executable will create a subshell, so the variables won't be set in the parent, whereas source should run in the current environment. Although, so should running the commands directly...

I am running it dirrectly from the shell script. There is no subshell. There is only shell with these commands thats all.

I even gave export variablename=value. but still it is not working. Can you please let me know how to capture it in variables.

cheers!!!
