First run overwrite then append
I'm overwriting .unl in first run and after that in seq. runs appending by following method. Any other method or command can do it easier?

Code:
ARY_VALUE=1
while [ $ARY_VALUE -lt 99 ]
do
 
  if [ $ARY_VALUE-eq 1 ]; then
  type.sql > out.unl 
  else 
  type.sql >>out.unl 
  fi 
  ARY_VALUE--;
 
done

To make your current script work, you need a space between $ARY_VALUE and -eq; and ARY_VALUE-- isn't valid in most shells. Try this instead:
Code:
ARY_VALUE=1
> out.unl
while [ $ARY_VALUE -lt 99 ]
do 
  type.sql >> out.unl  
  ((ARY_VALUE++))
done

How about
Code:
while [ $A -lt 99 ]; do type.sql; ((A++)); done >out.unl
