You aren't doing anything to print the variables in func1(). The command:
Code:
set -x

turns shell tracing on. If you want to list the environment variables at that point instead of turning on tracing, change that line to:
Code:
set

not sure what you mean as I am printing the values in func1

Code:
 
echo "Here I am 2 |DB_UID=$DB_UID|"
   echo "Here I am 2 |DB_PWD=$DB_PWD|"
   echo "Here I am 2 |ORA_USER=$ORA_USER|"
   echo "Here I am 2 |ORA_PWD=$ORA_PWD|"

Note how the body of getpwd is surrounded by parens while the body of func1 is surrounded by braces? getpwd is running in a subshell. The environment changes do not propagate upwards from child to parent.
