Calling a package from shellscript

Question

Hello,
I am trying to run open interface for GL. I am a newbie to oracle apps.
The flow and steps i am following are
1. Load some sample data into staging table using sqlldr.
2.Validate and insert the data into gl_interface using pl/sql package.
3. Write a shell script to call the sqlldr and pl/sql package.
4.Register the script as concurrent program in apps.
When i run this request ,the log file shows no errors. But the data is not loaded in gl_interface table.
I tried with a simple pl/sql procedure (not a package) it ran fine. The data was loaded.
ex:
sqlplus user/pwd<<EOF
exec sql_proc();
EOF
But now i have two different procedures, so created
a package. How do i call that package in the shell script. I also have IN parameters for the second procedure.
Should i mention them here (in the shell script).
i tried
sqlplus user/pwd<<EOF
exec package.sql_proc();
exec package.sql_proc2();
EOF
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Srikanth

You can define the variables in your shell script to pass to the package/procedure for e.g. if you wanted to execute fnd_client_info.setup_client_info, your shell script would look something like this
p_usr_id=$1
p_app_id=$2
p_resp_id=$3
( sqlplus -s /nolog << end_of_sql
connect $p_sqlpwd
set head off
set feed off
set verify off
exec fnd_client_info.setup_client_info($p_app_id, $p_resp_id, $p_usr_id, 0);
exit
end_of_sql
)
