Hi SaraN!

Below is an example of .sh script about how we fix this problem: #!/bin/ksh
# setup the environment variable
. /export/home/.set_env
sqlplus -s >/dev/null <<EOF
$dbuser/$dbpassword
set serverout on size 10000 term off timing off ...
EOF
...

dbuser and dbpassword are defined in .set_env file: #!/bin/ksh
dbuser=username;export dbuser
dbpassword=password;export dbpassword
...
