Unclosed EOF (error)
I have a script which throws an error: "here document `EOF' unclosed"
The script is:

Code:
...
main() 
{
   
 RETVAL=`sqlplus -s $ConnectDetails << EOF 
 SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
 DECLARE
    errnum      NUMBER;
    errmsg      VARCHAR2(1000);
 BEGIN
     My_Procedure( errbuf  => errmsg, errcode => errnum );
 END;
 /
 exit;
  
 EOF`
 echo $RETVAL
 ...
 ...
 }
 ...

When I run this manually via command line, it runs fine. When invoked through cronjob, it throws this error... any idea why??
Thanks in advance.

Because the closing EOF is indented.
