ambiguous redirect
i have following statement in the script

echo -e "$str_XML_col_name:$str_field_type[$str_field_len];" >> $i_DC_Key_$i_Tgt_DC_key_Schema

here $i_DC_Key is DC key and $i_Tgt_DC_key are the variables...............

when i ran the script i am getting error rec_merge.sh: $i_DC_Key_$i_Tgt_DC_key_Schema: ambiguous redirect

can anybody have an idea why this error is coming....or usually in what cases above error comes... Smilie

thanks and regards
