All,
I need to get the return value from a sql script and redirect the outputto a file.
One of the requirements is to avoid showing passwords to 'ps' and the same code needs to run on win and unix.
I am now calling the script using code as below. 
 
--------- Start  My Code 
open SQLP, "|sqlplus -s /nolog >> $output_file_name " 
                                        or die "cannot open sqlplus $E
+RRNO \n"; 
# Connect and execute the script. This is done by writing to the strea
+m we open for sqlplus. 
SQLP "connect $user_name/$password \n" or die "cannot write in doScrip
+t"; 
print SQLP "\@$script_name; \n" or die "cannot write in doScript"; 
close SQLP or die "cannot close in doScript"; 

print "Status is :" . ($? >> 8); 
--------- End   My Code

The sql script I execute is :- 
 
****** Start  t.sql 
select sysdate from dual 
/ 
exit 77 
****** End    t.sql

This works if the exit value is 0 but anything else fails. 
 
................. Start  Error I see 
Uncaught exception from user code: 
        cannot close in doScript at sqlutils.pm line 160. 
        sqlutils::doSqlScript ('t.sql', 'scott', 'tiger@iasdb.local',
'a.log') called at tutils.pl ine 21 
................. End     Error I see

Your suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunil.
