Invoking a Package.Procedure via bash shell script

Question

Hello All,
I am using the below syntax to call package in a unix shell script, is this right way of calling and checking for errors or is there any other better approach?? kindly suggest.
I am using Oracle 11g & Linux OS, SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production
   RETVAL=`sqlplus -s FCSDWH_STG/${DBSTG}@${DBSRC} <<EOF
        EXEC FCSDWH_STG.FCA_HASH_TOTALS_PKG.HASH_TOTALS_COMPUTE(${PROVIDER},${UNINUM},${EXTRACT_DT},${VER_NUM});
        EOF`
        if [ `echo ${RETVAL} | egrep "ERROR"` ]
        then
                logit "Error While Generating The SQLPLUS Output File, Please Check"
                exit 1
        else
                logit "SQLPLUS Output File Has Been Generated Successfully"
        fiThanks much.

I am testing the same above functionality with the below sample procedure, and I am purposefully making it compile erroneous with "dbms_output.put_lin" just for sake of testing.
create or replace
procedure today_is as
begin
dbms_output.put_lin('Today is : ' || to_char(sysdate,'DL'));
end today_is;This is sample shell script "test.sh" I am using
#!/bin/bash
RETVAL=`sqlplus -s FCSDWH_STG/FCSDWH_STG@dwdev <<EOF
set termout off
exec today_is;
EOF`
echo "start here"
echo ${RETVAL}
echo "end here"
if [ `echo "$RETVAL" | grep "ERROR"` ]
then
echo "Error While Generating The SQLPLUS Output File, Please Check"
exit 1
else
echo "SQLPLUS Output File Has Been Generated Successfully"
fiBelow is my output
start here
BEGIN today_is; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00905: object FCSDWH_STG.TODAY_IS is invalid
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
end here
/home/infrmtca/bin/test.sh: line 8: [: too many arguments
SQLPLUS Output File Has Been Generated SuccessfullyI don't understand why it is printing "SQLPLUS Output File Has Been Generated Successfully" though it errored out.Because statements within backquotes are executed before the statement calling the backquote. The [ command has too many arguments coming from the echo and grep.  You might put just that test part of the script in it's own little script and test it, it seems to say that whether there is an ERROR in $RETVAL or not.  You might need to man test and see if you need a -z argument or something.
