Controlling a procedure execution from a UNIX shell script

Question

I want to control the execution of a PL/SQL procedure from a UNIX shell script.
Below, I include the script.
The control variable which should recive the return of the procedure, dosen't work well.
I want to control the return, because I wanr to make a UNIX script to control the execution of
a load data process with some Oracle procedures.
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Executing procedure pl/sql"
SQLPLUS="sqlplus -s /"
ESQUEMA="esquema1"
echo "\
call ${ESQUEMA}.Z_PROC_PRUEBA();" | $SQLPLUS
echo "Controlling pl/sql execution"
var_err=$?
if [ $var_err -gt 0 ]
then
echo "Error executing pl/sql"
else
echo "pl/sql finished sucessfully"
fi

This is not oracle problem. You can try something like this in your shell program ->
DEV=Udev01/1ods@ODS1
DEV_ID=`sqlplus -s ${DEV} <<!
         set heading off feedback off verify off
         set serveroutput on
         @/prod/ods/satyaki/prac/ctl_build.sql '$1' '$3';  -- If you sql needs to pass argument
         exit
         !`
O_DIV_ID=`echo $DIV_ID | tr -s " " | sed 's/^[ ]//g'`
if [[ $O_DIV_ID -ne 0 ]]; then
      echo "Successfully EXecuted.."
else
  echo "Failed..."
fiHope this will help.
