Need help solving error generating a job running at crontab.

Question

Hello everybody,
I have a job. Lets say xxx.sh
a part of the script connecting to oracle is as below.
STAT=`$CONN -s $USER_ID <<SQLPLUS_IN
set heading off feedback off serveroutput on trimout on
select open_mode from v\\$database;
SQLPLUS_IN
+`+
+if [[ `echo $STAT | awk '{ print $1 }'` = "READ" && `echo $STAT | awk '{ print $2 }'` = "WRITE" ]]; then+
echo "$ORACLE_SID is UP : $TIMESTAMP .... Procedding with Free Space Report " >> $FSRJLF
else
echo "$ORACLE_SID is DOWN !! : $TIMESTAMP ...Please rectify the problem and run Freespace report job" >> $FSRJLF
+$EXIT_1 $FSRJLF $ORACLE_SID $JOB_TYPE+
exit
fi
Its running fine when i run at [d002/oracle] ./xxx.sh
But if i schedule through crontab runs second option of if loop although the DB is up. when i echoed the contents of $STAT it is
+SP2-0306: Invalid option. Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}] where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | /+
and also its running fine in higher version of solaris.

Please help.

Arun KumarWHERE are you setting these? Maybe I missed it in previous discussion, but if it hasn't been pointed out, you need to understand that when a script is executed from cron, it does not automatically invoke your .profile. Any environment settings you want available to a script launched from cron need to be set explicitly in that script -- or be held in a script that is sourced from the scheduled script:
#!/bin/sh
#  file: /usr/local/bin/locvars
export ORACLE_BASE= .....
export ORACLE_HOME= ....
export ORACLE_SID= ...
# etc, etc, etc,
#!/bin/sh
#  file: mycronjob.sh
source /usr/local/bin/locvars
# -- do some work
