command terminated abnormally

I am getting an Error Message as

=============================
starting Sortcl Merging And Aggregation
time: command terminated abnormally.
=============================

, when running a sortcl command.sortcl is a command for sorting large data,using cosort application installed in solaris server itself. Following is the shell script that is being execute.

=============================
MON=$1 ; export MON
RDT=$2 ; export RDT
pathsrc=$3 ; export pathsrc
pathmerge=$4 ; export pathmerge
MDT=`echo $RDT|cut -c1-4,6-7,9-10` ; export MDT

echo starting Sortcl Merging And Aggregation
time sortcl /spec=${pathmerge}/script/LeaMergeCurr
echo Ending
=============================

The beauty of this script is ,once if the script fails for particular date(2007-07-31) then again it will not run for the same date(RDT). If I run it for another date(RDT) ,it is running perfectly.Before running second time , i am clearing all logs pertaining to this.WHY IS THIS ? Is it unix error or COSORT error ?

WAIT(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   WAIT(1)

NAME
wait -- await process completion SYNOPSIS
wait [pid] DESCRIPTION
If invoked with no arguments, the wait utility waits until all existing child processes in the background have terminated. Available operands: pid If a pid operand is specified, and it is the process ID of a background child process that still exists, the wait utility waits until that process has completed and consumes its status information, without consuming the status information of any other process. If a pid operand is specified that is not the process ID of a child background process that still exists, wait exits without waiting for any processes to complete. The wait utility exits with one of the following values: 0 The wait utility was invoked with no operands and all of the existing background child processes have terminated, or the process specified by the pid operand exited normally with 0 as its exit status. >0 The specified process did not exist and its exit status information was not available, or the specified process existed or its exit status information was available, and it terminated with a non-zero exit status. If the specified process terminated abnormally due to the receipt of a signal, the exit status information of wait contains that termination status as well. STANDARDS
The wait command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible. BSD
