Placing is ok...But you'll have to overwrite the file then:

Code:
sort -t"|" -k 2n -k 5n $OUTFILE > $OUTFILE.tmp; mv $OUTFILE.tmp $OUTFILE

1 more thing how can i take the output of a qry containing multiple rows into an array and then comparing that array's values with the argument passed?????????

Im doing it this way but not getting the desired result:

bill_period=`sqlplus uname/pwd@dbname <<eof!
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
select bill_period from bill_period_ref order by 1;
exit
eof!
`
if [ $# -ne bill_period ]
then
echo "Enter valid bill period"
exit
fi

Not tested:

Code:
bill_period=`sqlplus uname/pwd@dbname <<eof!
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
select bill_period from bill_period_ref order by 1;
exit
eof!
`

# Assuming that the 1st argument contains the bill period input
if [ `echo $bill_period | grep ^$1` = "" ]
then
    echo "Enter valid bill period"
    exit
fi

Not working and getting following error:

./cpd.sh[19]: test: Specify a parameter with this command.

The select query returns multiple rows and single column.

Updated:

Code:
bill_period=`sqlplus uname/pwd@dbname <<eof!
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
select bill_period from bill_period_ref order by 1;
exit
eof!
`

# Assuming that the 1st argument contains the bill period input
if [ "`echo $bill_period | grep ^$1`" = "" ]
then
    echo "Enter valid bill period"
    exit
fi

Or, I think you can do with this too:

Code:
bill_period_input="'""$1""'"
bill_period=`sqlplus uname/pwd@dbname <<eof!
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
select bill_period from bill_period_ref where bill_period=$bill_period_input order by 1;
exit
eof!
`

# Assuming that the 1st argument contains the bill period input
if [ "$bill_period" = "" ]
then
    echo "Enter valid bill period"
    exit
fi
