This script is driving me mad. I do not know why the last two commands in the script are not executing. It is running AIX 4.1.

The sleep or rm command do not execute!

Below the script is the output. The isload routine simply creates a flat file from an ISAM file. I wish to copy this flat file to a MS box.

Any ideas on what I might try?

HOST='192.168.21.5'
USER='user'
PASSWD='pwd'

file='apvend.ism'

    echo u > tmpunl
    echo ${file%.ism} >> tmpunl
    echo ${file%.ism} >> tmpunl
    echo  >> tmpunl
    /usr/synergy/dbl/bin/dbr /usr/synergy/dbl/isload < tmpunl

ftp -n -v $HOST <<-EOF
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
prompt
put ${file%.ism}.ddf
disconnect
quit
EOF;


    sleep 5
    rm ${file%.ism}.ddf

Partial script output is:

... normal termination of ISLOAD
+ ftp -n -v 192.168.2.5
+ 0<<
quote USER user
quote PASS pwd
prompt
put apvend.ddf
disconnect
quit
EOF;


    sleep 5
    rm apvend.ddf

Did this instead and it worked:

echo open $HOST > tmpftp
echo user $USER $PASSWD >> tmpftp
echo 'prompt' >> tmpftp
echo put ${file%.ism}.ddf >> tmpftp
echo 'disconnect' >> tmpftp
echo 'quit' >> tmpftp

ftp -in -v < tmpftp
