thats cause you are trying to select from V, not from v$datafile, etc.... $ = sh special character...
do this:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus $1/$2 << ENDIT
set echo off
set heading off
select 'cp '|| name || '/destination_dir' from v\$datafile; select 'cp '|| member || '/destination_dir' from v\$logfile; select 'cp '|| name || '/destination_dir' from v\$controlfile;
ENDIT
exit
see the \$controlfile.... that escapes the $ otherwise the sh is looking for an environment variable $datafile, doesn't find it and just returns V -- you get the 942 on select * from v...
