if not exist $Cur_Day_Dir mkdir $cur_day_dir

cd $Backup_home
del backup_cmd.txt
echo 2>backup_cmd.txt

set cmdfile=$Backup_home\backup_cmd.txt
echo run >>backup_cmd.txt
echo { >>backup_cmd.txt
echo allocate channel c1 device type disk format='$Cur_Day_Dir%/db_%%u_%%p_%%s'; >>backup_cmd.txt

Thanks for ur reply...
I tried this

$ cat test.sh
Eco off
NowDate="Incr_sep`Date '+%d'`"
Backup_home=/backup_lv
Cur_Day_Dir=$Backup_home/$NowDate

if not exist $Cur_Day_Dir mkdir $cur_day_dir

it shows the error like

$ test.sh
test.sh: Eco: not found.
test.sh[2]: Date: not found.
test.sh[6]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 6 : `if' is not matched

TIA,

Eco is NOT a valid unix command

>test.sh[2]: Date: not found.

Date is NOT a valid unix command

>if not exist $Cur_Day_Dir mkdir $cur_day_dir
above not valid "if" syntax

NONE of this has anything to do with Oracle itself.
Please post in non-Oracle or generic Unix forum.

It appears you have little or no experience with Oracle or Unix.
I suggest you concentrate on Access & GUIs where all you need to do is point & click.
