I am trying to pass a shell variable into a "here document" in a unix shell script, i.e.,

export PASSWORD=the_pass

svrmgrl << EOF
connect user/$PASS
do_stuff_here;
commit;
exit
EOF I have tried: "$PASS" , \$PASS , and just plain $PASS - no dice. Anyone know how to do this? I spent too many hours in the sun this past weekend and am drawing a blank...

Thanks,
