Subject: writing job dependencies shell script

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how I can write a shell script that checks the=20 success or failure of DML statements. I have a number of jobs that are

dependent on one another. For eg. if JobA fails do not process jobB, and

likewise if jobB fails, do not process jobC.

Each job looks like the following:
jobA:
=3D=3D=3D
#!/bin/ksh
sqlplus << eof
username/password
update tableA set .....
eof

jobB:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
#!/bin/ksh
sqlplus << eof
username/password
delete tableB .....
eof

I'm trying to write a simple shell script that does the following checks

before executing each job:
#!/bin/ksh
jobA
if [ $? =3D 0 ];then

     jobB
     if [ $? =3D 0];then
          jobC
          if [ $? =3D 0];then
               jobD
          else
               exit
          fi
     else
          exit
     fi
else
     exit

fi

The problem I'm encountering is $? always returns 0 because the sqlplus=20 always completes successfully even though my update or delete statement=20 fails due to rollback seg space or any other issues.

Can someone provide me some pointers on how I can write an error handling=20
routine? If there is a better way of writing this, please let me know.

thanks.
