Get data from PL/SQL block and generate the data file in UNIX

Question

Hi All
i was executing the following code block from Unix Shell Script. The following code was generating the file count_curdate.txt with all require infomrations. The query gives number of records , group by partition_dt
ABC=`sqlplus -s <<EOF > count_curdate.txt
uname/paswd@connectstring
SET HEADING OFF;
SELECT COUNT(*)||','||partition_dt from XYZ group by partition_dt;
exit;
END`
But now i need to change the above code to use dbms_application_info.set_module in it. Could someone let me know how to generate the file using PL/SQL block in Shell Script. I tried writing following code, but it generate count_curdate.txt file with 0 bytes.
ABC=`sqlplus -s <<EOF > count_curdate.txt
uname/paswd@connectstring
set serveroutput on;
SET HEADING OFF;
set feedback off;
BEGIN
     dbms_application_info.set_module ('shm.ksh','get count by day');
     FOR reccur IN (SELECT COUNT(*)||','||partition_dt as "dcount" from XYZ group by partition_dt);
     LOOP
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(reccur.dcount);
     END LOOP;
end;     
exit;
END`

OK, try this:
ABC=`sqlplus -s <<EOF > count_curdate.txt
uname/paswd@connectstring
set serveroutput on;
SET HEADING OFF;
set feedback off;
BEGIN
dbms_application_info.set_module ('shm.ksh','get count by day');
FOR reccur IN (SELECT COUNT(*)||','||partition_dt dcount from XYZ group by partition_dt);
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(reccur.dcount);
END LOOP;
dbms_application_info.set_module (NULL,NULL);
end;
exit;
EOF`Or this:
ABC=`sqlplus -s <<EOF > count_curdate.txt
uname/paswd@connectstring
set serveroutput on;
SET HEADING OFF;
set feedback off;
BEGIN
dbms_application_info.set_module ('shm.ksh','get count by day');
END;
SELECT COUNT(*)||','||partition_dt dcount from XYZ group by partition_dt;
BEGIN
dbms_application_info.set_module (NULL,NULL);
END;
exit;
EOF`Edited by: SeánMacGC on May 11, 2009 6:13 AM
