Problem while executing procedure thru Shell script (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE)

Question

Hi All,
I have created a procedure where i am passing column name, tablename and business date. The procedure gets last 5 business date excluding Saturday and sunday based on business date.
i am using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement in the procedure, where i am replacing the column name, table name, and business date & then executing this statement.
stmt := 'select count(1) FROM '||tblname||' where trunc('||date_column||')= :1';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_stmt into tbl_count using to_char(in_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY') ;
It will give me the count of all 5 days for a particular dates. When i run the procedure in SQL*Plus/TOAD, it gives me desired result. When i run this in UNIX shell script, it runs fine but at end gives following error:
SP-xxx: Bind varaible not declared.
Can someone tell me where might be the problem?

Hello, if you could put a {noformat}{noformat} before and after your snippets of code please, it makes it much easier to decipher.
You have:EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_stmt into tbl_count using to_char(in_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY') ;
Where it should be:EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_stmt into tbl_count using TRUNC(in_date) ;
Additionally, you do not need the SQL script, you could simply have:sqlplus -S $ORA_UID/$ORA_PWD@$DSQuery <<EOF >>${TMP_DIR}/report.log 2>&1
whenever sqlerror exit failure
whenever oserror exit failure
set serveroutput on;
set pages 0;
set feed off;
exec return_date ('20090515','STIFAPACDTR','ASOFD','n');
print;
quit
EOF
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]
then
echo "sqlplus did not run successfully,verify"
echo "For errors please check ${TMP_DIR}/report.log file\n Exiting..."
else
echo "$0 script executed successfully"
fi
exit $?
You don't need any of this:if /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -e 'ORA-' -e '^ERROR at' -e 'unknown command' ${TMP_DIR}/report.log
then
print "sqlplus did not run successfully,verify"
print "For errors please check ${TMP_DIR}/report.log file\n Exiting..."
exit 1
fi
if [http:// -s ${TMP_DIR}/report.log ]
then
print "`echo $0 script executed successfully"
grep -v '^$'${TMP_DIR}/report.log > ${TMP_DIR}/report.csv
else
print "${TMP_DIR}/report.log file not generated, verify, \n exiting"
exit 1
fi
outFLAG="n"
done
I'm not sure that that will fix your problem here, but can you try again with those changes.
