Problems in execution of sqlscript in unix
I am new to unix and trying to execute sql script from unix. I have function already in database and trying to execute it from Cygwin unix and getting stuck. Can someone guide me where I wrote the shell script wrong

Code:
sqlplus -s scott/tiger 

declare
a number:=3;
b number:=4;
c number;
d number;
begin
d := fn_multi_returns(a,b,c);
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(d);
end;

exit

Two things:

(1) you forgot the forward-slash ("/") character immediately after the end of the PL/SQL block. Oracle stores the contents of a PL/SQL block in a buffer file in your client machine. The forward-slash character is a signal to Oracle to execute the buffer contents.

(2) you did not specify the here-document. That is required by your Unix/Linux shell to capture a multi-line string that is supposed to be fed to the sqlplus command.

Note carefully the code in red color below:

Code:
$
$
$ cat -n test_orcl_block.sh
  1  #!/usr/bin/bash
  2  sqlplus -s scott/tiger@your_db << EOF
  3  set time off timing off
  4  declare
  5    a number       := 3;
  6    b varchar2(20) := 'Hello, World!';
  7    c date;
  8    d number;
  9  begin
 10    c := TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'yyyy');
 11    d := -123.456789;
 12    dbms_output.put_line ('a = '|| a);
 13    dbms_output.put_line ('b = '|| b);
 14    dbms_output.put_line ('c = '|| c);
 15    dbms_output.put_line ('d = '|| d);
 16  end;
 17  /
 18  exit
 19  EOF
$
$
$ ./test_orcl_block.sh
a = 3
b = Hello, World!
c = 01-JAN-11
d = -123.456789
 
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

I modified my code as follows. It gives me following error:
SP2-0735: unknown SET option beginning "severoutpu..."

How do specify set serveroutput on, please advise

Code:

sqlplus -s scott/tiger << EOF



set severoutput on;
declare
a number:=3;
b number:=4;
c number;
d number;
begin
d := fn_multi_returns(a,b,c);
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(d);
end;
/
exit

EOF

I got it, it was my bad. I coded as "Set severoutput on" instead of "Set serveroutput on"

Code:
sqlplus -s scott/tiger << EOF 


set serveroutput on
declare
a number:=3;
b number:=4;
c number;
d number;
begin
d := fn_multi_returns(a,b,c);
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(d);
end;
/
exit

EOF
